235 Grandville SW
Grand Rapids, MI
13F. Russian Imperial StoutAroma: (11/12)

Big roasted grain aroma. Coffee isn't subtle.
No hops at all.
Appearance: (3/3)

Jet black with brown head that really persists
and laces. It is what one would expect.

Flavor: (19/20)

Roasted coffee, the coffee flavor is actually
subtle. There is no bitterness at all from the
roasted grains; really smooth! Nice chocolate
notes, but these are subtle as well. Fantastic
all-around flavor!
Mouthfeel: (5/5)

Exceptionally creamy. Big bodied, as would be
to style. Hops aren't noticable and are very much
in the background and need to be searched out.
Overall Impression: (9/10)

This beer is absolutely super! To style and very
smooth. Coffee and chocolate doesn't overpower
in the least. A great balance of chocolate,
malt, coffee and hops. This is what
I look for in an Imperial Stout!
TOTAL: 47/50
