Imperial stout is descended from the strongest - ’stoutest’ - porter brewed in Britain in the 18th century, a beer that found particular favour with the Tsar of Russia in St Petersburg, which is where it is believed to get its ’imperial’ designation from. It was a beer that could be laid down for years, or enjoyed straight away.
Strannik: the pilgrim, the one who travels. A beer of simple means - deriving strength from pale malted barley and character through four roasted malts. British hops provide both the rounded bitterness and the floral, spicy notes to compliment the roast and chocolate.

Keg at CBC Clapham - London. Pours oily, clear brown-black with a creamy tan head. The nose holds rich chocolate and ripe berries. Medium sweet flavor with gooey chocolate, burt wood, smoke, peat, dirt, baking cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with dry dark chocolate, torched wood, earthy bitterness. Very nice.

Bottle from the Northern Monk stand at Leeds International Beer Festival. Almost black. Thin, beige head. Aroma is big and complex. Roasted coffee, roasted malt, some black cherry. Pear drops in there too. 90% plus chocolate. Taste is very bitter, but not harsh. Finish is initially surprisingly sweet. Then salt. Then very dry. I’m going to stick a couple in the cellar for a year or so. Potential to be a cracker!
