Commercial Description:
Winner of the BRONZE award in the Imperial Stout Category at the 2000 World Beer Cup International Beer Competition. Russian Imperial Stouts were originally brewed for export to the Royal Court of Russia where they were enjoyed by Catherine the Great. Ours has a rich intense maltiness with black currant, toffee and dark roasted malt flavors. The higher alcohol content is sure to warm you up from the inside out.

Bought a growler from the brewery. Aroma of chocolate and roast was standout and bold. Black body with medium tan creamy head. Only thing lacking was high amout of lacing. Flavor was of rich choclate and some mild sweetness to it. Had the taste of chocolate milk. Full bodied beer. Left a roasty sweet aftertaste. Smooth beer for high alcohol content. Ever get to Tucson this would be a beer to get.

<i>Growler, courtesy of Papsoe</i><br />Dark brown color. It has the character of a watewred down Danish coffee, with light phenolic aroma, a lot of caramel flavor and sweetness. Pleasant.

Courtesy of Papsoe, growler. It’s brown/black and the aroma has notes of roasted malt and licorice. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, light hints of smoke, licorice, a light bitterness and hints of alcohol. It’s very harmonic and nice and the body is very full!

Bottled. Flat deep brown colour. Roasty chocolate aroma with a touch of sourness. Thin mouthfeel. Roasty flavour with some coffee and chocolate. Too bad is was too flat....
