Russian Imperial Stout

We brewed this imperial stout to be big, bold and strong, like a bear-hugging Russian wrestler. A thick body using oats and lactose is complimented by plenty of complex chocolate, cocoa, and caramel undertones, before finishing on a balanced roasty note.

On tap at Funky Buddha, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out low roast, with plenty of lactose snowing and a heart oat backbone. Flavour is robust, with medium roasted malt, plenty of lactose, and light oats. Creamy and silky, balanced well. Excellent.
