Gotta love them Imperial Stouts, and this one is just outside of the top 50 list on www.ratebeer.com, although its close cousin (the barrell aged version) is up there. This brew pours jet black, like almost all Imperial Stouts do, with absolutely no head. It smells of oatmeal, no surprise if you know what the O stands for in BORIS, heres a hint, its oatmeal. It also has a nice aroma of liqorice, coffee, chocolate, and coffee. The taste is instantly of coffee and alcohol, but fades into a nice bitter sweet aftertaste with a hint of oatmeal. Very smooth indeed.
