During the late 1600’s, Tsar Peter the Great began to develop a taste for English stouts, cultivated during a royal visit to London. Soon thereafter shipments were arranged to the far away Imperial Court in Russia. Unfortunately, the recipes of the period were generally light in character and the distances great, and as a result, the beer usually arrived in St. Petersburg spoiled. The answer? More alcohol and more hops to preserve the precious cargo. The resulting Imperial stout is inky black, rich and complex, and warming enough to take the edge off of even the coldest of Russian nights. So, in honour of the Greatest of Tsars and the miracle of fermentation, we bring you Pyotr Chetyre (Peter IV), a modern Russian Imperial Stout with Cinnamon and Vanilla. “Za zda-ro-vye!” Aroma: Sweet malt, fragrant cinnamon, and vanilla Flavour: Sweetness and vanilla tempered by a slight roast malt character. Full bodied. Malts: Maris Otter Base Malt. Chocolate Malt. Carafa III, Crystal. Hops: Columbus for bittering. Cinnamon and Vanilla added.
