Slow, extended ageing before bottling differentiates this style from simply being a strong stout or porter. It makes Ridgeway Imperial Russian Stout considerably more vinous and sharp than an export stout. There is just that little nod towards a lambic beer, with very roast and very bitter flavours. The bitterness mellows over time in the bottle so the style is not intended to be overtly hoppy.

Draft. A black beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is light but has notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and tar, leading to a dry roasted chocolaty finish.

33cl bottle, 2012 vintage, bottle number 3979, from Bitter Virtue, Southampton. A dark chocolate brown pour with a ruby red glow, and a thin beige head; rich, milky chocolate aroma; thick, coating the mouth like a chocolate malt milkshake, with a tingling, fruity, bitterness that seems to give you a hug; then a mellow finish with traces of coffee and cognac - the alcohol being well hidden. An extremely satisfying nightcap.
