Description:
Peter the Great came to love rich, dark Porters during his trip to England and requested them to be sent to the Russian Imperial Courts. Unfortunately, the beer did not survive the long journey and arrived spoiled. In 1796 a London brewery, Thrale’s, responded by increasing the alcohol and hops in their porter, essentially delivering a richer and heartier brew able to survive the long export east. Thrale himself proclaimed, "She’ll keep for seven years". Thus, with the same intention of longevity as Thrale, we have created our homage to the original brewer of the Imperial Stout. We’ll be keeping a small amount in safe-keeping for a ’seven-year toast’ or two.
