SAMUEL SMITH Imperial Stout Unitaire

This distinctive type of beer was originally brewed to withstand the abuses of shipping in bad weather to Imperial Russia. It was a favourite of the Russian nobility, whose taste for the finest food and drink was world-famous. Pleasantly light and aromatic on the nose, this black Imperial Stout is a gourmet concentrate of roasted cocoa bean flavours, bitter chocolate, caramel and toasted malts. A complex, flavoursome pleasure with a long, bitter, fruity finish. What a fine representative of the style!
