Ivan The Terrible is rich, complex and intense.
Sifting through the darkness you will find flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruit and bourbon. Drink now or lay down as this beer will assuredly evolve over time. Aged in American oak bourbon barrels

Love the big bottles of imperial stout. Ivan the Terrible came home with me from a trip to Chicago this summer to see the Cubs sweep the two games we watched. Bottle put up in 2018, label says 111 of 4500. I'm sharing with my daughter tonight, using my Cowtown snifter for this tasting. The pour is coal black with a persistent, tan skim. I have a good smell, chocolate, dough and strawberry. I follow with a drink. Ash, dark chocolate, biscuit, caramel, malt and just a touch of booze. Actually somewhat subdued, not as forward as other imperial stouts. I have room in my life for both.
