Review - John Harvard's Brew House's Russian Imperial Stout
No commercial description available.
Dark brown appearance with a light-brown, fizzy head. Aroma is of faint burnt malts with alcohol presence. Initial taste is bitter, finishing with a heavy sweetness loaded with alcohol. Light to medium on the mouth, it has a watery to creamy texture with soft carbonation.
Very tame on the nose. Comes off more as a barleywine than a stout. Alcohol slaps you across the face. The score here is not the whole story however, as this beer will certainly knock you on your ass. It is well-crafted, however does not do much to separate itself from the pack.
