Originally brewed in 18th century England for the Russian Imperial court, dark roasted English malts and an extended boil give this big robust stout notes of graham cracker and caramel.

On tap at the brewery (which BTW I would recommend highly). Liked it so much I took a growler home.
Black, like used engine oil. Two-finger tan head that eventually reduced itself to a thin lacing. Nice.
This is a big beer. Really thick, boozy, and bursting with flavor. Malt, caramel, maybe just an undertone of cocoa initially, gradually morphing into an ever-so-slightly bitter finish. Thick, chewy mouthfeel - definitely one of the more robust offerings in this style.
If Vlad had a wider distribution, it would be in the top ten (maybe top five).
