The Schönramer brewery is best known for its Schönramer Pils, which has gained almost cult status in Germany and is also popular internationally. But the Schönramers don't just have good Pilsner to offer, their Imperial Stout isn't called Bavaria's Best Imperial Stout for nothing.
The stately name of the Imperial Stout has its roots in the time of the Russian Tsars. Catherine the Great always retreated to her “Imperial Winter Palace” during the winter. To sweeten her dreary season there, some London breweries sent her stouts. The Tsarina took a liking to the top-fermented strong beers and immediately liked the complex variety of flavors of the stouts. In order not to have to go without her favorite drink after the winter, she made stout the tsar's court drink. The simple stout became the imperial stout.
And what pleases the delicate palate of a tsarina tastes even better to us!
The Tsarina would certainly have enjoyed Bavaria's Best Imperial Stout from Schönramer. It is wonderfully warming and enchants with aromas of plums, coffee and cocoa. As you drink, the taste world changes from caramelly roasted notes to dark chocolate tones, which lead bitter and clear into the finish, which ranges from dried plum to smoky cherry tobacco notes. Well tempered at 12 to 14°C, the Imperial Stout is a true revelation of complex flavors.
