The springtime usually puts me in the mood for lighter beers or IPA's, but i just had to make an exception for the always dependable folks at
Real Ale and their Commissar Russian Imperial Stout. Weighing in at 9.8% ABV, this big boy does not mess around. The beer pours a dark black with a good and foamy tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, some dark fruit notes, and hints of spice. The beer is roasty and full bodied, the malts, subtle fruit, and hints of coffee and chocolate hitting at first taste with a nice and bitter backend. The Commissar is definitely a sipper, but i really enjoyed it.
