A strong, silky smooth imperial stout with a deep, dark ruby appearance. Mocha, bitter chocolate, liquorice and dark cherry flavours prevail, before the balanced, warming and encapsulating finish.
A contemporary Scottish take on an age old Russian classic style originally brewed for the Tsars. Our interpretation brings together hops from both sides of the Atlantic, amazing flavoured malts and dark sugars.
Like the original BrewDog, this beer would never bite you but would much rather give you a lick on the face. Look Out!
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with an air of aristocratic nonchalance

Sweet chocolate liqueur, creme brulee with some dried fruit on top. A hint of alcohol. Roasty, chocolaty and somewhat too bitter for the thinnish body. Solid, but not too smooth.

Svart med høyt lys brunt skum. Lukter mørk sjokolade, noe kakaopulver, svisker, noe trevirke, noe røkt lukt mener jeg å finne også, middels fylde. Salt lakris, pepperig, mørk sjokoladebitterhet, lett søtlighet mot svisker. Middels lang.

Pours a pitch black color, topped with a hefty and quite lasting dark beige colored head. Gentle chocolatey aroma with somem sweet fruity notes which change midway to more liquor-like. Taste is roasty, slight soury fruits notes with nice and quite present bitterness. A bit boozy, with coffee in the aftertaste. Very silky and creamy body, full taste, strong, though still quite drinkable.
