Overview While Victory has its roots in a brewpub, Imperial stouts are not really “drinking out” beers in our mind. We’d save this for an afterdinner warmer on a cold winter night.

Flavors and aromas There’s a lot going on in this big beer, starting with herbal or minty notes in the nose and a scintillating, lively palate with more herbs—tasters noted mint and licorice—plus bitter chocolate and alcohol. A full, creamy mouthfeel with good carbonation presents all of these flavors well. This is a beer to sip and savor.
