Good wintery stout. Thick tan head and very dark, although I didn't think it seemed as heavy tasting as it looked. More thin than I expected but by no means a thin beer. Tastes of burnt chocolate that lingers. I didn't notice the high abv as much as others have. 3.5 stars.

Solid imperial stout, slight alcohol/anise burn at the finish but overall smooth for the high abv

2014 addition has a 10.5% abv... Chocolate, coffee, almost a dab of mint to finish.. I enjoy this beer surprisingly, a top russian imperial for me..4 stars

Rich, bold and a tad bitter! Merry Christmas

Creamy, good head; black, slight carbonation, malty and slight chocolate undertones; good

A little thick, nice color head, and goes down good

This a very nice smooth imperial stout with a coffee finish.

Carbonated, not smooth. Mid bodied. Nice flavor, bitter, burnt, cocoa. Flavor lasts moderately long. Strong alcohol taste. 3.4

Almost black in color w/ foamy khaki head & great lace. Nose is dominated by smoky roasted malt, coffee & chocolate. Flavors follow suit.

Merry Christmas, mother fucka!
