Kerel Pink Imperial from VBDCK is an ambitious Russian Imperial Stout brewed in Temse, Flanders. At 9% ABV, this bold beer was originally created to impress an actual Russian Czar—a fitting origin for a style born from imperial ambition.

The nose reveals roasted malt and toasty character. On the palate, dark chocolate and espresso notes emerge alongside subtle raspberry undertones, wrapped in a velvety, full-bodied texture. The finish is dry and bitter, with lingering depth.

VBDCK, family-owned since 1908 by Verbeeck-Back, brews without monks or corporate backing—pure Belgian craft.
