Russian Imperial Stouts are actually an English creation made at the request of the Romanov's (former Russian royal family) for a good winter time beer. At a truly shocking 12% ABV, this beer is certain to make your winter nights less cold and lonely. It is by far the strongest beer that the Glengarry Brewery has ever created. It has all of the traits that make a good Russian Imperial Stout. It's dark, it's thick, it tastes like you are eating chocolate oatmeal out of a beer glass, and did I mention that it's 12% ABV? Enjoy!
