Boaks Monster Mash

Boaks Monster Mash found its way into my keezer thanks to a very generous person.  I was looking forward to trying it, since it's a Russian Imperial Stout, and I'm a huge fan of that style:

Vittles:
Russian Imperial Stout
10% abv
100 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 10/10
Aroma: 22/25
Taste: 37/40
Mouthfeel: 9/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 91/100

Impression:
The aroma drew me in, with all its roasty, nutty, sweet malty goodness.  I picked up some pretty clear coffee and chocolate notes and hints of dark fruits (mainly raisins and figs) and just the slightest hint of something smoky.  The flavors followed the nose very well, but I also tasted hints of vanilla, toffee, and some mild hop bitterness.  I was a little surprised that I didn't taste any smokiness, though.  The mouthfeel was medium-full with mild carbonation, and it's a nice, smooth drinking beer.  I'm very glad I got the chance to try this beer, and I'll definitely be picking some up for the chilly weather up ahead.  I'm also going to try cellaring this one for a year or two -- seems like the kind of beer that'll get tastier with a year or two on it.

Cheers!
