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.

Bottle. Almost black. Oak, soft roast and caramel in the aroma. Malty sweet, roasty flavor with oak, vanilla and dark chocolate. Low on carbon. I can’t taste much whisky.

Bottle [from trade with RW80] shared @ tasting. Dark brown color with a red brown glare coming through when held into the light. Average sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, raisins quite strongly, dark malts, some chocolate, a hint of wood / oak, fermented grapes / plums and a bit alcoholic. Thin body, decent to medium carbonation. Not very good imo.

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai en gedronken met Roelzie en TomHendriksen. Diep donkerbruin helder bier met rode gloed. Aroma is houtig en rokerig. Smaak van pruimen en caramel. Nasmaak is iets bitter en blijft even hangen.
