From the brewer

Our take on the classic Russian Imperial Stout. With a bit of coffee aroma up front, Comrade Warmer’s full-bodied cocoa and licorice flavor fades to a gentle alcohol warmth on the finish.

(5 oz taster)
Coffee on the nose and in the flavor, along with a kind of undefined malt sweetness to smooth it out - nice basic flavor. However, on CO2, the finishing hoppy bitterness is a bit much to take. I wonder if nitro would have made it easier to swallow. Thinnish, cola-like mouthfeel.
A nice roasty stout. The smell of the Hi-Fi taproom makes it hard to enjoy though.
