One of our most aggressive and sought-after offerings. Bold bourbon, tobacco and espresso aromas and a hint of American oak greet the nose. Rich, chewy roasted malts, charred oak and bourbon-like vanilla fill the palate and create a seamless finish. A remarkably complex brew that offers a transcendental drinking experience – enjoy with good company.

Sample from a bottle at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2025, blue session. A rich, flavourful stout - vanilla, bourbon barrel, oak, bonfire, and coffee.

Real nice barrel. Leathery, tobacco, some cocoa, fantastic on #StoutSaturday

Аромат классический для Русского Имперца, сухой, жженый солод, немного черного шоколада, кофе, бочка. Вкус сухой, черный шоколад. Намного больше кофе чем было, оно плавно раскрывается на финише, прям бобы кофейные местами. Снова жженки немного от солода, бочка умеренная. В целом хорошо и классично.

Taster showing pitch black and no head.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of molasses and light cacao.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Espresso forward with a lot of burnt chocolate notes and a strong coffee bitterness.
