A historical recreation from the old brewer’s logs, back when this beer was actually sent to the Russian Czars (hence the name).

A far cry from the diabetes inducing liquid candy bar stouts that lately have taken over, this is a serious stout for adult palates. Brewed with the finest English malts and an eye-watering 150 IBUs from East Kent Goldings hops, the depth of flavor is immense.

The aging potential for this beer is great, a decade is not out of the question.
