Imperial Russian Stout 2000 Alcohol 9.0% vol.
Regarded as one of the World’s most unusual and prestigious beers. The recipe contains a dense concentration of varied malts and hops to produce a bottle conditioned stout. This brew will improve over six months to one year to develop its complexity. This beer has an intense flavour which is complex and distinctive. The roast, alcoholic and spicy notes combine in this unusually sweet & sour beer.
Very dark and thick...think motor oil and your on the right track. nose of dark chocolate, hops, and dry grass. The palate is very thick and creamy and has flavors of chocolate, expresso, mocha, and a touch of bitter hops on the back palate. THe finish has got to be the longest of any beer I've had, and pushes the 2+ minute mark. Quite the remarkable beer. 97 points.
Not sure how long you can age this, but I will have to go back and get more, if they still got some.
