I mangled my pour because it foamed up a lot more and a lot more quickly than I expected. The body is super rich, not unlike a Black Chocolate Stout, though there's no real chocolate tones here. It's also very creamy and the head leaves rings not unlike a Guinness Draught. A bit of tobacco but mostly just...dark and stormy with a bitter finish. As an imperial, it drinks with the ease of any other stout, though the body tends to linger on anything it touches. I like it. After marking their Hop Devil and Hop Wallop as unimaginative, Storm King raises Victory up a notch in my book. The next test will be Golden Monkey.
