Heavy Seas Peg Leg

Peg Leg Imperial Stout will be the third Heavy Seas beer I try (I love being on vacation!).  I'm partial to IS style beers, so I'm looking forward to this one:

Vittles:

Russian Imperial Stout

8% abv

Score:

Appearance: 8/10

Aroma: 21/25

Taste: 34/40

Mouthfeel: 8/10

Style: 4/5

Drinkability: 8/10

Overall: 83/100

Impression:

The aroma is dominated by roasty malt notes, some coffee, chocolate, and a touch of smokiness.  The coffee and chocolate are a little weak on the tongue -- I was expecting more of a bold, robust flavor.  However, I was a little surprised to taste a hint of dark fruits in the background, so that was a nice surprise.  The hops are subtle, and they add some interesting herbal, woody, and earthy notes that make the flavors a bit more complex.  It finishes fairly dry with a lingering bitter coffee aftertaste.  Decent overall, but not quite as good as their other beers.

Cheers!
