Astraeus, named for the Greek god of dusk and stars, is a bold yet balanced take on a timeless classic. This Russian Imperial Stout opens with rich aromas of chocolate, roasted coffee, and caramelized sugar, drawing you into its dark, velvety depths. On the palate, it’s smooth and creamy, decadent but not overindulgent, with a gentle hop bitterness that lifts the sweetness and keeps each sip remarkably drinkable.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full foamy tan head. Aromas of creamy coffee, marzipan, dull chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors of creamy coffee, lactose, dry milk chocolate, some undefined hops and roasted malts. Seems to be creamy and dry at the same time. Interesting; a definite step up from a big milk stout but nowhere near a great Imperial Stout IMHO.

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Dry brown sugars and toasted bread on the nose. Flavour has a rich roasted malt profile, very bready, some nuts, some dry caramel. Very nicely put together imperial stout, great malt expression.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 30/10/25). Dark brown with full light tan head. Dry cocoa powder, dark sugars, relatively roasty. As a non-adjunct impie, it's fairly decent, but not a home run - it's just a touch powdery.

473mL can, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma has bold roasted malt, a touch of dry cocoa, and light coffee. Flavour is bold, with deep roasted malt, ample hops to back, with a touch of coffee and dark cocoa undertones. Great roasted malt base that carries this. Excellent.
