Complexity like a Russian Matryoshka doll. It is our brewing philosophy that a good beer should be like a Matryoshka doll. You will keep finding new layers. That complexity and surprise you will especially find in our Russian stout, with bitter notes and hints of coffee and chocolate popping round with each sip. This heavy dark beer is not only enjoyable when you can skate on the Neva, you can savour it all year round. Would Tzar Peter still be alive he would definitely have traveled back to The Netherlands to quench his legendary thirst with this beer.

Ik proef salmiak in de nasmaak. Beetje een bitter, koffie, beetje droog, maar ook zoetig, zoethout. Geen schuim, das ook nergens voor nodig. Wel lekker romig koolzuur. Zoals Britse stout. Mooi donker/ zwart bier.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is roasty and chalky with firm roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some ash, espresso, touch of liquorice. Flavour is pretty bitter with a mild sweetness. Above medium body. Good basic Impie, could be a bit more full.

Bottle. Almost black. Roast, ash and licorice in the aroma. Hint of smoke. Malty sweet, roasty, alcoholic flavor with ash and lots of salted licorice. Almost full bodied.
