This Russian Imperial Stout delivers a very complex roasted taste and aroma with notes of bitter chocolate, coffee, and caramel. The aftertaste is again a strong malty roast with hints of licorice. The Russian Imperial Stout Vandekelder has a gravity of 21° Plato and an alcohol content of 9°; EBC 169. This is a top-fermented beer, with refermentation in the bottle and best enjoyed at cellar temperature. Not coincidentally Vandekelder.

Bittermalziger Beginn mit Noten von Schokolade. Etwas trocken, getreidig, Nuancen von Kaffe. Mild röstig, was sich zum Ende noch steigert, das trockene Mundgefühl ist allerdings ebenfalls stark. Mittellanger Abgang. 10/9/9/8/9/9
