Russian Imperial Stout

[molc]

Traditionally this is a massively hopped strong beer as it needed to be preserved for the long trip to the tzars. The high fg balances the hops to really round it out, once it matures.

Historically many of these were undrinkable before 12 months, due to high hop rates and the dark grain character.

I didnt tap this beer until it was 7 months old.  It was rough as fuck after primary going to keg but it aged wonderfully.
