About

Amsterdam-based Brouwerij Asperius crafts this Russian Imperial Stout in the tradition of the style's original English brewers. At 8.3% ABV, it delivers a full roasted malt character with prominent notes of coffee and chocolate. The palate is gently bitter, balancing the roasted depth with restrained hop bitterness. Russian Imperial Stout was originally brewed in London as an extra-strong porter for export to the Baltic and Russian markets. Asperius honours this heritage with a beer that places roasted malt at its centre, supporting the characteristic dark and earthy complexity the style demands.
