This was brewed using a similar recipe to the Slavanka Special Reserve, but with chocolate malt replacing half of the black malt, reduced bitterness, and with no whisky oak. A Belgian ale yeast was used for the fermentation. The result is a strong, rich, dark, complex and slightly sweet imperial stout.
