With Robert The Great we refer to Lord of Liddesdale, Robert I, popularly known as Robert the Bruce, was king of Scotland from 1306 until his death in 1329. Robert I was one of the most famous warriors of his generation, eventually leading Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland’s place as an independent country and today is revered in Scotland as a national hero. This naughty one does what Robert once did, conquering a place of independence in the wild jungle of globalization.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is dark malt, liquorice, light roast, dried fruit, caramel, candy sugar. Flavour is sweet with some booze in the finish. Above medium body. Bit too heavy on the liquorice for me.

Bottled 330ml (DBH, bottled 08/2022)
Opaque colour, tiny beige head. Roasted aroma with some raisins, alcohol and vanilla. Medium-bodied. Sweetish, toasted and raisiny flavour. Quite simple sweetish imperial stout without being a pastry stout.
