This stout pours a gorgeous dark brown, almost black, color with a significant coffee-colored head. The bouquet is promising, with assertive scents of licorice root, chicory coffee, roasted malt and a touch of Bourbon. The mouth is a bit lighter in weight than one might expect from the nose, but the traditional chocolate, coffee and raisin flavors of a Russian Imperial Stout are present and attractive alongside accents of fresh tobacco leaf. Lifting carbonation and hidden high alcohol make this one to keep count of while drinking.
