A Russian Imperial Stout is simply a stout with extra everything! Despite what the name suggests the beer was first brewed in 19th century England for export to the Russian court.

Our interpretation of this style is a brooding beer with a thick body and generous tones of liquorice, coffee and chocolate. A robust and complex beer best enjoyed in moderate amounts.

Body is creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee, liquorice toffee and hints of soy sauce. Very pleasant.

Bottle. Opaque black/brown with a nice beige head. Aroma of dark berries, roasted malts and some coffee. Taste of liquorice, dark fruits, soy sauce, roasted malts, caramel, toffee, some tobacco but very little in the way of chocolate. A pretty fruity stout. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Alcohol is well covered up but still pretty present. Ok but for some reason I had higher expectations. Woe is me.
