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’.

Heerlijk. Prachtig flesje. Thuis na een mooie boswandeling en kijkend naar de Hairy Bikers in Asia. Mooie zwarte kleur, vol bruin schuim. Zoet en bitter, uitstekend!

Fluffy beige head left a skim on s near black still body. Liquorice, malt & demerara aroma. Medium to full bodied, super smooth on the palate & a sharp back. Taste is as the aroma with liquorice, malt, pine, dark berries & a hippy citrus finish. Excellent!

35,5 cl. bottle @ home, gift from Suus. Black with a tan head. Roasted malts with some vinous notes. Taste is sweet with earthen notes. Not as thick bodied as expected but still a very nice, smooth stout.

550ml bottle. Pours an opaque black with faint reddish hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, dried fruit and a hint of smoke. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, toffee and sour, dark fruit with bitter coffee in a dry finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Nicely done.
