Typical Russian stout. Toasty, malty with just a hint of bitterness. Pretty good

Not as big of a beer as I first thought it would be. Good flavor with ok malt and good chocolate . Not the end all be all beer that some have suggested but a very good beer I would recommend

At BR brewery. Had the barrel-aged. Hints of coffee and licorice on the nose. Smooth. Taste of coffee and hops. Pretty good Stout.

Beautiful notes of chocolate and bourbon. It's sweet and perfect for a dessert session.

Light body. Smooth but kinda watery. Roasted malt upfront with burnt finish. Not sweet or thick enough. 3.5

Bit of a coffee and caramel flavor but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely will get again. Very enjoyable.
