Ticks: 176

Beware, this is a BIG beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours which are balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold freshness from the hops. If you’re feeling politically incorrect try it with your favourite cigar, or a dram of your best single malt whisky. Or, if your tooth is sweeter, why not jump in at the deep end with the most decadent dessert of all; half a bottle in a glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (beer geeks like us know it as the Imperial Stout Float). Or simply enjoy it on its own as a decadent dessert or night cap - the perfect winter warmer! If you don’t already know the history of Russian Imperial Stouts please check it out on the internet, it’s a good story. But remember, although based on that century-old classic style, this beer is a very modern interpretation, like all our beers!

330 ml bottle, from Ales By Mail. ABV is 10.0%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, exotic woodwork. Rich mouthfeel. The medium sweet flavour is roasty with notes of strong coffee and dark bitter chocolate, some vanilla, and distinct bittering hops. Impressive.

almost black beer with huge, dense and stable brown head; aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, heavy roasted rye bread, some herbal liqueur, slight dried cherry and hints of burnt wood; taste of heavy roasted coffee, cocoa powder, herbal liqueur, dark chocolate bonbon made with dried sour cherry soaked in alcohol, some over-roasted nuts, syrupy-burnt sugary notes, slight burnt wood/ash and hints of burnt plum jam; spicy alcoholic aftertaste; excellent imperial stout!
