This distinctive type of beer was originally brewed to withstand the abuses of shipping in foul weather to Imperial Russia. It was a favourite of Russian nobility whose taste for the finest food and drink was world famous.

A rich flavourful brew; deep chocolate in colour with a roasted barley nose and flavour that is a complexity of malt, hops, alcohol and yeast. Fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’.

Best served at about 15°C.

This pours a dark black color, with a full light-brown head that leaves beautiful lacing behind with each sip. The toasty, roasty aromas of fresh ground coffee, cocoa powder, molasses and licorice immediately entice, with a seam of citrus oil that weaves a sense of brightness throughout. The palate is loaded with rich, decadent chocolate- and roasted-malt flavors, with a lingering hint of sugar plum and raisin on the mildly astringent and bitter finish. With a robust flavor profile, medium carbonation and approachable yet slightly warming alcohol, it’s a classic selection for cold-weather enjoyment.
