Imperial stout was originally brewed in England by request of the Russian Czar, Peter the Great, who fell in love with the rich, dark, coffee flavors and robust mouthfeel. This big beer style could easily handle the long voyage from England to Russia whereas most styles of moderate alcoholic strength would spoil. Our version pays tribute to the iconic style. Expect aromas and flavors of strong coffee/espresso, bittersweet chocolate and dark fruits, just to name a few. This beer gains complexity as it warms in the glass. A full bodied mouthfeel and alcoholic warmth lets you know this is one big beer!

On draught at the brewery.
A dark pour with a khaki head.
Huge on roasted and caramelized malt flavor, initial sweetness is curbed by the 72 IBU bitterness in attempt to balance.
Strong roasted coffee, chocolate and molasses flavors are rich. Hints of vanilla, nibs, cocoa liqueur add to the experience.
Not as boozy as expected. A well crafted Imperial Stout.
