Like a Russian Matryoshka or ’nesting’ doll, the secret of Dosvidanya® Russian Imperial Stout lies locked deep within her mysterious & elaborate wooden layers. The hidden soul of this oak bourbon barrel-aged beer that we said Dosvidanya (’goodbye’) to several months before revealing, is its rich flavors like dark chocolate, toffee, black cherries and coffee along with robust & roasty maltiness that finishes dry.

Opaque black brown beer, good tan head. Smooth palate, dry. Mild fine carbonation. Rich dark malt, not bitter or roasty. Woody dryness. Smooth bourbon, mild coffee. A rich brew but quite dry, Dark fruits before the dry finish.

On tap in Denver for GABF 2012. Pours a pure black color with a medum tan head. A big roasted nose with some barrel. The flavor is a sweet barrel with vanilla and cocoa, balanced by big roasted malts and lighter dark fruit. Very good!

Enjoyed on tap at Goose Island Stout Fest 2012 in Chicago, IL. I like butterscotch, so I liked this brew very much. Appearance is pitch black, moderate consistency, no head. Aroma of butterscotch, very sweet, very rich and decadent. Taste like a smoky butter scotch, bit of chocolate, potent alcohol flavor, pretty good stuff.
