Courage Russian Imperial Stout

A big ten percenter from an English brewer in the Russian style.


Didn't have a photo for some reason. But the beer is in there somewhere so that'll have to do.

This was first brewed for good ol' Catherine back in 1795 or so they say.

Pretty big alc on the nose, and this smashed me with alcohol taste on the first bite too. Bottle says pear tastes, I got a bit of that front of the mouth. Swish it around and it's aggressive, but the coffee helps pull it through.

Err. Bout equal with  Murray's Spartacus. From the 10% beers we've had of late.. I'd stick with Lenny's HeBrew RIPA. 6.0
