Pugachev Royale is a more developed version of Pugachev’s Cobra. We added cacao nibs and vanilla beans to a select few barrels of Cobra during its eight months in Bourbon Barrels, then transferred it to brandy barrels for an additional 10 months of aging. Royale displays sweet, ripe fruit notes doused with incredible chocolate aromatics. This is a truly decadent beer to be saved for a special occasion, and will evolve in the cellar for years to come

One of my favorite beers this year; it has great taste and mouthfeel. I wish more than one bottle a person had been available.

2017 version poured into a Forager snifter. The alcohol percentage is pretty well disguised on this. Nice chocolate aroma and some fruit from the Brandy barrel in the flavor. Very nice.
