Saint Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy, ook wel de Don genoemd was in de 14e eeuw heerser in Noord-Rusland en prins van Moskou. Een gedicht krijger die het opnam tegen krijgers en Mongolen. Naar verluidt zou hij meer dan eens zijn tegenstanders dronken hebben gevoerd alvorens de strijd in te gaan. Een tactiek die ons zeer aanspreekt en waarvoor wij wel een geschikt bier in gedachten hadden, de Russian Imperial Stout. Dit intense bier combineert aroma's van caramel, vanille en chocola met laurier. Zacht van smaak en met 10% alcohol een rechtse hoek die je even niet zag aankomen. Deze limited edition is gelagerd op eikenhout en infused met whisky.

On tap. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of roasted malts and a bit of oak. Not much else as beer was poured too cold for a stout… Flavors of cola, dry chocolate, oak, and roasted malts.

On tap at Bierproeflokaal In De Wildeman, pours black with a large light brown head. Aroma brings out fairly subdued whiskey, plenty of oak, and light-medium roasted malt. Flavour is rich and round, with lots of oak, whiskey, and medium roast. Deep and rounded without any real harshness for such a big beer. Excellent.
