This Brown stout is similar to a beer first brewed by Barclay Perkins in 1832 and known as Imperial Brown stout, presumably as one of its export destinations was the Russian Imperial Court. The Beer was originally brewed at Thrales Anchor brewery. Hester Thrale ran the brewery with her husband until his death in 1781. As there was no male heir she was forced to sell up.
