The English brewed this style of stout for the Russian Czars. One thing was certain. This beer wasn’t going to freeze at twelve percent alcohol during the cold Russian winters. This stout is brewed with twice the amount of malt & hops of most beers. The flavor is very roasted, coffee, sweet and a hint of coconut. It goes down warn due to the higher alcohol volume. We serve our Russian Stout in a brandy snifter to let it slowly warm up to release it’s entire flavor. A great beer with cigars.
