Southampton Imperial Russian Stout

I received bottle 40 of 650 of Southampton Imperial Russian Stout in a bottle trade with Lee from Hoptopia. The beer pours a black color with a bubbly tan head when poured that actually turns to a foamy head as it settles. The aroma consists of dark chocolate, toasted malts, and vanilla. The taste is creamy and with chocolate, raisin, toasted malts, vanilla, and oak. The finish is smooth but dries a little bit with toasted malts. The after taste is warming with alcohol. The alcohol content is 10.5% ABV. This Imperial Russian Stouts has to be one of the smoothest and creamiest imperial stouts that I have ever had, and one of the most enjoyable ones as well.
