RUssian imperial stout
Available: Winter
Description:
This season, we’re thrilled to release the latest in East Brother’s Freighter Series: the Russian Imperial Stout.
This year’s RIS might be our best yet. We partnered with our favorite local maltsters, Admiral Maltings, to design a malt profile that balances both the sweetness and bitterness of this classic style. The resulting flavor is both smooth and nuanced. Find notes of chocolate, a sherry aroma, cocoa nibs, and dark fruits. It’s like drinking a mocha from your favorite coffee shop.
