This noble brew evolved from its common cousins, porter and stout, by necessity to endure the long voyage to the Russian royal court. Colossal additions of American hops are used to balance the robust malt character and infuse this ale with their distinctly citrus-like qualities. The Commissar can be consumed now or laid down for further enjoyment. Take some home to share with friends and family at your court.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a dark brown with small frothy tan head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is grapefruit and pine. Medium mouthfeel with bitter hop and nice lingering bitter finish. Hides the alcohol well making it easy to drink, a good Imperial stout from Real Ale.

On tap at anvil. Pours black with a creamy brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces beautifully. Aroma is full of roasted malts with a bit of coffee and some bitter chocolate. Flavor begins with strong roasted malts backed by some espresso and dark grains. A bit of booze in the finish.
