Pours a very dark colour, that, while not completely black, is most certainly on it's way there. One good whiff produces many aromas, most notably caramel and chocolate, but there is most definitely some coffee in there as well. Tastes like a good stout should. the caramelly sweetness is there, but not overpowering, and lets the grain and hops shine as well. A little light for an RIS, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and with the 8% alcohol content, it gets points for being so smooth, easily drinkable, and not too heavy which is an issue i often encounter with RIS.
