About

Beast of The East The Bear is There is a commanding Russian Imperial Stout from The Flying Dutchman in Finland. This beer earned gold at the World Beer Awards 2023 and distinguishes itself through maturation on cocoa beans, vanilla beans and Ceylon cinnamon. The result is a complex, dark beer with full chocolate and coffee character. The palate is smooth and creamy with pronounced cocoa notes, supported by hints of cinnamon and coffee. Bitterness is well balanced against the sweet malts, delivering a dry finish. At 9.5% alcohol, this is an intense yet not overwhelming stout, ideal for those who appreciate dark, flavoured beers.
