Dosvidanya 2016! You were no one's favorite year, you fractious, life-stealing bastard. That being said, thank you for making this beer. Black mushroom coffee scents waft above a perfect mousse of micro-bubbles spottily lacing; sports Light anise and roasted black corn, wild rice and whiskey complexity. There is a fig sweetness. Oily vanilla whiskey leads the charge in a oaken den of decadent dark chocolate on tea biscuit. The coffee notes are syrupy here, but they are tinged with herbaceous and stemmed spices that take on a burnt marshmallow perspective. The final act of this magnificent spectacle evokes Turkish delight, burnt chocolate cake, toffee, and hazelnut liqueur and coffee cake caramel meandering between pecans. Liquid quicksand. #destihlbrewery #dosvidanya #russianimperial #extraimperial #stout #bourbonbarrelaged — 8 years ago

Balsamic/soy. Broiled maple, brown sugar, charred apple, cedar, cinnamon and a peach in rum-blackberry reduction bordering on oyster sauce Coffee rye soaked in burnt brown syrup, bakers chocolate, fernet branca comes to mind, sage, peppercorns, dark botanicals. #stonebrewery #russianimperial #stout — 9 years ago
