Mission Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout


Mission Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout, 9.8% ABV., …I'll skip the verbiage until later, just a glance and I can tell I won't like it. So, let's get to the beer…

Dark as the deepest sin, ringed with a roasty tan color, staying slim, but lingering long.

Aroma: Mmm. Yes. Chocolate, coffee, rich molasses and dark rum. A whiff of char and ash, but overall sweet and lush.

Taste: Yeah. Richness galore. More cocoa, more espresso, mucho anise, lots of spice, pepper aplenty. Yum. Thick, but not overly so. Tasty, for the dark malt lover in you. Oh, so, lovely RIS.
