This particular stout has only been brewed once, and that was over 2.5 years ago, so we decided to bring it back...with a vengeance!
This Russian Imperial Stout has intense aromas of roasted malt, alcohol + fruity esters of dates all competing for attention. Jet black in color; Flavors of coffee, dark chocolate + tar with a warming bite of alcohol. Velvety smooth, chewy, with a moderate sweet finish.

27 February 2026. BCBS Tasting @ Stacks (Sint-Kruis). Cheers to Ward for hosting the event!
Jet-black, very thin, beige head. Aroma of cigar, cigarette ash, coffee bean, chestnut, toast. Sweetish brambleberry, bitter coffee, toast & cigar. Peppery hops, lingering bitter coffee, very ashy, roasted, some warming whisky-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. No-nonsense roasty Stout, very good.
