This distinctive type of beer was originally brewed to withstand the abuses of shipping in foul weather to Imperial Russia. It was a favourite of Russian nobility whose taste for the finest food and drink was world famous. A rich flavourful brew; deep chocolate in colour with a roasted barley nose and flavour that is a complexity of malt, hops, alcohol and yeast. Fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Black with a medium tan head. Quite mild with chocolate, coffee, caramel and hints of nuts. The bitterness was soft. An old school Imperial Stout that was easy to drink.

Flaska. Välgjord, behaglig IS med malt som för tankarna till kaffebönor och karamell. Humlen spelar andrafiolen här men bidrar med lite örter alldeles på slutet. Mjukt och i balans.

bottiglia 355 ml, schiuma color cappuccino fine persistente, colore marrone intenso/nero, al naso è delicata cacao caffè leggero rum, in bocca caramello cioccolato fondente frutta sotto spirito, corpo rotondo, carbonazione moderata, acidula, attacco dolce con amaro accentuato. Mano a mano che la bevi emergono tutti i suoi pregi. Una Imperial Stout facile da bere. Molto buona. c. Bottega Della Birra Arona 16.11.19

Almost opaque. Big brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, porto and chichorei. Bitter flavor with some sweetness, surprisingly fruity (grapes, mango). Long coffee bitter finish.

Bottle. Beautiful black with shades of brown and a lovely beige head. Aroma of butter, cookies and roasted malts. Taste of burnt malts, liquorice and a little bit of dark chocolate. Fruity and slightly tart. Low carbonation. Decent not great. Somehow Samuel Smith and me find it hard to establish a love affair.
