Double Barrel Aged (Rum & Sherry) Imperial Stout. Experience the mystery of Mighty Matroesjka. At first sight, she's sweet as dried fruit and honey. A souvenir from her stay in Jamaican rum barrels. But don't be mistaken, this Russian Imperial stout also infiltrated like a true KGB-agent in Sherry barrels. Making her burning hot like a Siberian stoven. The ideal solution when you are freezing your ass off.
Nashe zdroróvje!

Aus der Flasche im 2025-09 getrunken. Dieses Russian Imperial Stout ist wirklich sehr mächtig mit seiner Süße, aber auch mit seinem Mokkaaroma. Der sehr hohe Alkoholgehalt ist hervorangend eingebunden. Leider ist ein grünes Paprikaaroma auch zu finden was leider keinen Spaß macht. Schade!

Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is krachtig warm en zoet met iets van rum, rozijnen, wat rode wijn en zoet fruit. Heeft een sterke rum en wijn guer die het geheel compleet maakt. Echt een top bier.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have loads of dried fruits. Boozy and sweet. Jammy notes. Lots of honey too. The alcohol tempers the sweetness well.

Two considerable positives to start with, an imperial stout and barrel aging, apparently doubly so. This 33 cl bottle was obtained from a happy retailer in Belgium. A welcome addition to the bottom of my Buffalo Bayou snifter, the sight is a dense brown-black with a fleeting head of tan foam. The scent is a bit different but appealing, dark plums, bakers chocolate and scorched grain with some indication of booze. I take a drink and find an obvious sweetness at the front end, raisins, dark chocolate, caramel, bark, malt and wheat bread. The alcohol lurks in the background, let us see if it bites me later. A better brew if the sweetness was subdued somewhat, still I will enjoy this one for what it is.
