Whole Hog Russian Imperial Stout.


Nose is stopped up so I can't get a good whiff. Fine, fluid bubbles, low carb, no lacing. Body is more like a standard stout. Smooth and filling mouthfeel, hints of chocolate. First taste had a hollow, metallic finish but subsided with time.

Nothing interesting, but it was on sale.

After having cheated and read some BA on it, I would say it's like an overexposed wine. I don't get the feeling of a doppelbock as much as some others did. It's still very much stout in my taste. Some dark fruit and typical rich stout tones. But still, at the end of the day, not much to write home about.
