Katarina den stora styrde det ryska imperiet på 1700-talet. Under sina resor till England fattade hon tycke för den brittiska stouten och bestämde sig för att importera drycken till sitt hemland. Genom att öka alkoholhalten och andelen rostade maltsorter skapade ett London-baserat bryggeri Russian Imperial stout, ett öl som lämpade sig för den långa resan under exporten.

Ölet har en rostad och lätt fruktig smak som övergår i en fyllig avslutning med tydlig beska. Kan med fördel lagras flera år och utvecklar då en smak av konserverade körsbär och mjuknar i karaktären.

En noga utvald blandning av flera mörka maltsorter ger detta årgångsöl en komplex maltighet. Bäst-före-datum kan lika gärna ses som bäst-efter-datum.

Hette förut (previously sold as) "Fristadens imperial stout".

MAT OCH ÖL

Härligt fyllig öl med stor kropp, rostade toner och svart som synden. Till den här stouten vill man helst ha en chokladig dessert. Fondant som flyter ut när man sätter gaffeln i den eller en mörk chokladglass med syltade körsbär gör ingen besviken. Den passar också till porterstek med svartvinbärsgelé för den som inte orkar vänta på efterrätten.

Bubblare: Chokladfondue med mörk choklad

Bottle (kindly donated by Omhper!): Literally black, big cappicino-like tanned head, leather and coffee in the sweaty-toasty nose, some acidity underneath; solid bitter-sourish flavour, medium to full bodied, quite soft; lingering dry roasty-bitter finish. O.K., but not really convincing...

330ml bottle from Systembolaget e-beställning, picked up in Kiruna and shared with Finn during our rating session. The oily pour reveals an airy, tan-coloured head on top of a jet black body. Dotted spots to the glassware. Nice little roastiness to a semi-sweet aroma of dark malts. Fine blended taste of dark chocolate and fruity hops. Lingering and smooth bittersweet finale. Full bodied, still quite easy to drink. Very pleasing (Tromsø, 27.09.2012).

En fin stout. Smak och doft av kaffe, bitter choklad, soja, viss fruktighet och rökighet, en aning söt och jag saknar lite mer kolsyra mot slutet. Dock en behaglig och trevlig beska. 3,4p Ännu en flaska som fått stå till sig några år. Gott. Rundare och fruktigare smak än tidigare. Distinktare smaker överlag. 3,9p

Bottle. Opaque, deep black liquid with minimal, thick mocca head. Really small head, had to pour really slow to build it up at all. Aroma is quite roasted with notes of coffee, licorice, dark chocolate, smoke/ash, some yeasty esters, caramel and very light grassy hops. Taste is also roasted with a light sweetness and medium bitterness. Lots of ash and very dark roasted coffee. Too much black patent malt? The mouthfeel is way too light for an imperial stout. Light bodied and quite watery with low carbonation. OK imperial stout but it really lets down on some critical points: Not enough sweetness to balance the roasted notes, too light body and too low carbonation. Nice aroma though. As it warmed up the roastedness became less aggressive and the body a bit thicker, so I upped the score a bit.
