25cl on-tap @ Diesters Bierfestival 20 Oct 2012.

Full name is Lion à Plume Postiche Russian Imperial Stout, but Postiche will do on an informal evening!

Deep dark black, almost jet black with a full, thick, creamy head of tanned foam.

The nose is coffee and liquorice mostly: but most dark chocolate malt esters could be found, the taste carries on in the same way, those chocolate malts just keep coming up with different flavours to excite your taste buds. A hop presence ensures it doesn't just turn into a malty mess and the beer is balanced if a bit sweet initially in the taste.

Very rare to find it in draught form I'm led to believe. 0.75 Litre bottles being the normal way of coming across it.
