Nose : Powerful, vinous and malty. Hints of liquorice, bitter oranges and polished leather.
Palate : Smoothly malty and almost tarry, with a vinous sharpness throughout. Dark malt with chocolate notes forms the base, but there’s an almost raspberry-like fruitiness apparent and suggestions of leather. Bittersweet.
Finish : Lingering vinous fruit. Liquorice. Bitter chocolate. A real gum tingler.
Comments : Splendid re-creation of the imperial Russian stout style in a corked bottle. Not for the fainthearted or the novice.
Score : 8.75
