Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout

Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout, Mission Brewery, San Diego, CA
(Imperial Stout, Rated 99)

My first beer from Mission Brewery. Keeping with the string dark beers, this imperial stout pours pitch black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted coffee, malt, chocolate, and a little dark fruit. Pretty subtle. Chocolate and espresso come out in the taste along with a touch of sweetness and finishing with a little malty bitterness. Nice body and smooth for a bigger beer (9.8% abv).
