Name – B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal-Imperial Stout
Country – United States
Type – Russian Imperial Stout
Appearance – Poured an ink black color with a nice tan head.
Smell – Mostly roasted malts and chocolate that I pick up.
Taste – Roasted nuts, chocolate, vanilla and a slight taste of oats at the end.
Another grab from my trip to Orlando, I have heard of B.O.R.I.S. (Bodacious Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout) for quite some time. It was also a Gold Medal winner at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival. It is a very good stout that has a lot of flavors mixed in there, probably even more that I didn’t pick up. I would also say that it masks the 9.4% alcohol pretty well too so watch out for that.
Overall Grade – B

Not a big fan of this one. B- maybe. I’ll have to look at my notes for it but I remember thinking it was too hoppy and bitter.
