Иван - необычное пиво, сваренное в стиле "Русский Имперский Стаут". Это очень крепкое, мощное и темное пиво верхового брожения, которое некогда было очень популярно в царской России. Пиво изготавливалось английскими пивоварами специально для царского двора при Екатерине Великой. Отсюда и слова "русский" и "имперский". Пиво имеет высокую начальную плотность и большое содержание алкоголя, также сильно охмелено и содержит изрядную долю темных солодов. Все это создает уникальный по сложности напиток, который только улучшается с выдержкой. Имперские стауты какое-то время назад практически вышли из производства во всем мире, но в последние десятилетия наблюдается невиданный бум этого воистину царского напитка. Наша версия имперского стаута, помимо изрядной дозы темных солодов, содержит много специальных солодов - виски солод (копченый на торфе шестирядный ячмень), торфяной пивоваренный солод и бельгийский коричневый солод. Это добавляет к тягучему густому вкусу и кофейному аромату запахи мазута и креозота. Высокое содержание алкоголя маскируется сложным ароматом, но будьте бдительны! Пиво отлично подходит для долгих холодных зимних вечеров. Прекрасно сочетается с шоколадными десертами, а также с блюдами приготовленными на углях.

33 cl bottle @ ISKTR ’16, bottled 06.06.2016
Aroma has salty licorice and some peat. Flavour has cocoa, peat, salty licorice and tar. Rather salty but luckily in a peaty way.

330ml bottle from Koht, Tallinn. Bottled 06.06.2016. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, peat, leather, hints of smoke and coffee. Taste is heavy, peaty and roasty with some dark chocolate, coffee, leather and hints of smoke. Finish is sweetish, slightly roasty and earthy with some coffee, dark chocolate, peat, leather, smoke and wood. Heavy.

Bottle (shared at Koht, thanks) + whole bottle by myself. Pours dark brown-black. Aroma is roast, malt, dark chocolate, coffee. Flavor is very sweet and bitter, sticky, roast, malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some fruity notes. Finish is roast bitter with some smoke. Feels thick and boozy, but not too bad for 13% ABV, so drinkability is ok-ish. Overall: decent brew, but feels way too heavy. This is enjoyable as Danish pint (small sample), but it’s rather difficult to drink the whole bottle by oneself. I thought I missed something when I had the small sample at Koht (I was a bit drunk at the time and later everyone was raving about this beer). Hence I bought a full bottle to see what the fuzz is about. I still don’t see it. This is a beer from the "more is better" style of thinking. I actually think my previous score (3.7) was overrate...

Almost black. Tan filmy head. Roast, smoke, leather, oak, coffee on nose. Medium to full body. The flavour is similar to flavour. Complex. Good. Not orgasmic anyway, too.

Bottle @ LIBF’16. Shared with the RB Belgian team. Ahhh teh taste of Russian WW2 ace pilots in a glass, wonder what Zuhkov would say about that one. Brune foncée, col fin beige, doré au verre. Arôme offre un nez malté grillé, caramel où je note une pointe de fumé penchant vers le tourbé et qcq résidus de boisé. Je note aussi un léger rétro-nasal de fruits secs voir léger noir. Palais est malté, grillé, caramel choco léger avec un alcool ressortant bien et une touche de booze whisky d’où émane des notes fines de tourbe et fumé avec une note fruitée sec en accompagnement de la base maltée foncée. Ne laisse pas vraiment passer ses 13%.

At LIBF. This must be my first ’literal’ RIS, as in: actually brewed in Russia, with label in Russian... Creamy, deep beige, stable head, jet black colour. Strong and pleasant aroma of coffee powder, lots of bitter chocolate, black pepper, nutmeg, leather, fig, raisin, shoe polish-like solvents, whisky. Low in sweetness, more of a soft, deep sourishness and meaty umami flavor, soft carbo fit for the style, thick nutty and bitter chocolatey malt body leading to roasted coffeeish bitterness, creamy and oily mouthfeel, rich malty roasted finish with warming alcohol, satisfying. Classic interpretation of one of my favorite styles.
