imperial russian stout

A taste explosion of chocolate, coffee and alcohol.

The Imperial Russian Stout inspires and impresses as soon as it is poured: Deep black and with the almost creamy consistency of motor oil, it pours into the glass and forms a caramel-colored foam head that is reminiscent of fine-pored, foamed milk. What looks like an exclusive dessert also smells like one. The Imperial Russian Stout exudes a potpourri of heavenly scents ranging from dark chocolate, caramel and subtle roasted malt aromas to herbal hop notes and the full aroma of dried red fruits. A true symphony of complex aromas that promise a taste explosion.

At the first sip, a warm, fruity sweetness meets roasted malt notes. The hops join the mix and add a well-balanced bitterness, the red fruit aromas bring a subtle acidity. The impressive 11% alcohol content supports the warming effect as well as the creamy mouthfeel. Towards the end, the red fruits, paired with a touch of nuts, dark chocolate and a hint of licorice, build to a brilliant finale.

The brewers at Emelisse recommend their Imperial Russian Stout to beer drinkers who have already tried the full range of beers and beer styles. This beer will surprise and blow your mind!
