Courage Imperial Russian Stout is a luxurious, dark stout which is steeped in history and heritage. It originates from an 18th century recipe which was perfected by John Courage to be able to withstand temperatures of the Baltic so the beer could be exported to the Court of Catherine the Great in Russia, who had become quite taken by the strong London stout.

The 10% ABV beer is made with chocolate, amber and pale ale malts, Hertsbrucker and Styrian Goldings hops and accredited natural mineral water from the brewery’s own well to create a decadent, jet black stout.
