Russian Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels
for 36 months.
Raven-black and seductive, this massive Russian Imperial Stout compels you. With a hypnotic smoothness, it emerges from bourbon barrels cloaked in notes of the darkest malted grains, deeply toasted oak, dark raisin, and honey.

On tap at Calusa, pours black with the slightest mahogany tinge and a small tan head. Aroma is complex and big, with huge roasted malt, massive bourbon barrels, dark sugars (almost burnt), and molasses. Flavour follows as expected, with rich caramel malt, roasted malt, big bourbon barrel presence, lots of oak, and dark dried fruits. Huge complexity and remarkable balance for such a heavy-hitter. Not too brutal and definitely not too sweet. Fantastic stuff.
