When Peter the First tried popular at that time stout in England in 1718, he fell in love with this taste. He immediately ordered to send a batch of stout to the Imperial Household. However, during a long way to Russia the beer spoiled in transit, which made English brewers very unhappy. Not to lose their faces, London brewery Barkley created a new recipe - increased hop quantity and alcohol level - which was made especially for Imperial Household. As a result of this, strong inky black stout, which is heating the body and has a complex aroma, became a sensation in the whole Russian Empire. This was the birth of the new beer style, which soon became very popular in the whole Europe. Russian Imperial Stout is known as the real Emperor among other stouts. Consists high alcohol level and strong hop character.
