Common descriptors are
An Imperial Stout inspired by the traditional Imperial Russian Stouts that were created in London in the XVIII century by the Thrale’s Brewery, especially for Catherine II’s court in Russia. With its deep dark colour and an important ABV, Imperiale it’s the perfect beer for the coldest months thanks to its round, rich and creamy body and it’s roasted coffee and liquorice notes that softly mingle with the honey ones. Uniques features given by the different variety of malts we used, but also by the three month ageing in wooden barrel.

[Editor’s note]: Front label claims 9.8% ABV, back label claims 6.1% ABV.
Barley, hops and ale yeast. Spiced with gentian.
