ABV: 12.5% IBU: - Ticks: 4
A traditional beer much prized by the Russian Tsars, the classic, luxurious, bold Imperial Stout. Complex and intense with crashing waves of cocoa, coffee and treacle, dark fruit, a boozy warmth and a bitter-sweet finish.

06-12-20 // 330ml bottle from Hoptimism in 2018. cellar reorganization. This seems to turned a bit sour despite a BBD till 2027. Rich decadent body underneath a mild sourish vinegar note. Not too bad actually but don’t think this was intended. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tsar vs Czar on 07 Dec 2020 at 21:36 - Score: 7.
