beer_name: Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout
text: poured from the bottle into a pint glass. A - Pours a dark brown with a one-inch head that slowly dissipates with very little lacing. S- Dark fruits, a hint of chocolate and malts. T - tastes a little bit like fruit cake, with a malty finish. M - light, good carbonation, nice fig aftertaste. D - Not too bad. Very drinkable at 7%. My first foray into the RIS style was Old Rasputin, and that set the benchmark. Not that this beer is bad, it's great. Just expect something a little different.
