Stone Imperial Russian Stout

Today is my birthday, and because I am a well-known beer liker, I get beer for my birthday. One such gift is 22-ounce Stone Imperial Russian Stout. Here's my quick review. It's nearly black in color with a smallish, but creamy head. It's similar to Stone's smoked porter, but less smokey and more alcoholy. Seems like there's a bit of coffee flavor in there. The bottle says it has a touch of anise. I can't taste it. It reminds me faintly of Jagermeister, like a digestif. Rating = 1 beer is fantastic. 2 might be too much.
