Two Roads own brewing czar, Phil Markowski, has taken a traditional Russian Imperial Stout and added a touch of "Amerika" to create a version that's sure to please!
This most unorthodox Russian Imperial Stout is brewed with malted rye and aggressively hopped with four different Pacific Northwest varieties to create a depth of character that's unmistakable.
Full-bodied with notes of rye, treacle, chocolate and espresso that join together to create a crescendo of flavor. You’ll want to do an unabashed Kalinka after just one taste!

Bottle picked up (can’t recall where from? I think that it is probably Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent) consumed at Thistledown Farm campsite Saturday 12th September 2015. Pours black or thereabouts, bit tricky to be certain in this flickering firelight, tan head atop. Dark malts in mouth, some beefiness on nose with a little treacle that also shows in the mouth, burnt sugar a little bit of coffee. Not a world beating Impy Stout and not a patch on the Natasha Rocks America that we enjoyed last night, but it’s a good un’. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Botella 66 cl tomada en el momento en el kraken el 01-09-2015.(r144) embotellada 18-12-213 (impreso en Botella). Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro. Aromas (ligeros a pasas, maderas empapadas y licores) y sabores a más según va calentando predominando sobretodo el amargor lupulo herbaceo. Notas de café y especias vainilla y mucha malta y cereales tostados al coger temperatura. Original y lupulada imperial stout con una buena dosis alcohólica de 10.9 vol a la que sólo le faltaba un poco más de espesor y densidad. Bastante buena.

On tap at Taproom Malmö. Black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some coffee, light fruit and some chocolate. Similar taste. Full body and with a long aftertaste. A pleasant beer.

Pours a black from a bottle with a thin tan head leaving little lacing. Notes of licorice and espresso in the nose, bittersweet molasses, and a slight rye sourness in the mouth. Bitter forward finish, some sweetness, but mostly dry. Good beer.
