2015 GABF Gold Medal Winner Russian Imperial Stout was originally brewed in England during the 18th century for export to the court of Catherine II of Russia. The beer you now hold in your hand began as our interpretation of a Russian Imperial Stout. We used massive amounts of roasted barley and chocolate malts to obtain the piercing black color. Delicate usage of oats and caramel malts combine to create a rich, lasting foam. Our Russian Imperial Stout is aged in freshly emptied whiskey barrels for up to 24 months. This meticulous aging imparts a complexity of flavors that include caramelized coconut, vanilla and dark chocolate. This combination of tastes pairs well with heartier dishes.
