A sophisticated beer for the advanced connoisseur. It was once brewed by the English as a gift for the Russian tsarina. Today craft brewers all over the world enjoy this style because it allows them to live out all their creativity. We do this by stuffing our Imperial Stout with hops and storing it in barriques for six months before bottling it.
Vanilla and herbs, especially thyme, mingle. A gentle oily impression is followed by pine and a reoccurring herbal bouquet of thyme. The finish is soft but dry with lingering aromas of wood and black pepper.

Bottled. A black beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, roasted malt, and a bit of smoke, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle from Rewe supermarket near Kurfürsterdamm in Berlin. Color: Black, thin brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, some coffee, wood, vanilla, boozy hints and fruity hints of dark fruit. Nice. Taste: Quite complex mix of roasted malt, herbal thyme, umami, coffee notes, some vanilla, molasses, wood, bit boozy, subtle dark fruit and pine, light hints of pepper. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Over moderate sweet and moderate to over moderate bitterness. Very nice.

Back at the hotel, The Steigenberger Hotel Am Kanzleramt, Berlin, Friday 6th August 2021 after 22-23km of walking around Berlin today. It had been a lovely day🌞, but we got very wet over the last 4-5km as the heavens literally opened. Super nice Imperial Stout, a little woodiness compliments the chocolate, some fresh rolling tobacco notes, a hint of spice, cocoa powder. In the mouth, smooth and easy drinking, some vanilla, a underlying bitter and roasty edge, a tiny tang, chocolate, this is really nice. Picked up from the superb Edeka Mitte that looks like it is in an old Market Hall, it is not far from Brewdog.

Aus der Flasche im 2020-04 getrunken. Durch die 6 Monate Lagerung in Barrique Fässer ist diese Stout wunderbar harmonisch. Ein Vorbelegung in der Fässer ist nicht deutlich aber es kommt ein Hauch von ein Bourboneinfluss durch. Alles sehr stimmig und ein tolles Stout.

Opaque dark brown colour, tall creamy macropore tan head, good retention and lacing. Complex aroma roasted malt, liquorice, cherries, raisins, cocoa, wood, herbs, vanille kicks in after a while. Taste light heavy sweet and medium bitter, roasty, chocolate, cherries, raisins, alcohol, herbal notes. Full-bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation, roasty sweetbitter aftertaste, alcohol, very good heavy but well-balanced and tasty, a real sipper.
