Having not done one of these beer reviews in a while, and there are a few others that I haven't reviewed, but tried in recent months, today's beer tasting is from the folks at Stone Brewery. A limited release, the Belgo Anise Imperial Russian Stout (hence, the title of this piece, and no, not Irwin R. Schyster of the old WWF) is according to the bottle, an "odd year release" and has a 10.5 ABV. It's not quite as dark as a normal stout, but the smell is quite good. For a beer as strong as this, it's surprisingly easy to digest, but the flavor leaves a little to be desired (read: I expected more out of it than what I got). While it is relatively easy to drink, it's not recommended lest you want to make friends with the floor. According to the bottle, it is best enjoyed at 55 degrees (F) and should be allowed to sit unopened for 3-6 months...that is, if you can get your hands on one, as it is a limited release (from what I understand).
