Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

The king of stouts, Russian Imperial Stout was made popular back in the 1800s and still today is appreciated by many. Black in colour, with huge malt sweetness, mild carbonation, and impressive bitterness (84 IBUs), this high alcohol (9.2%) Vintage specialty is packed full of rich roasted malt flavours including chocolate, coffee, and dried fruits. Recommend serving below room temperature but not too cold (10-14c).
Pairs great with braised beef dishes, and my favourite during the Holiday season, Christmas fruit cake, or enjoy it with vanilla ice cream floats any season of the year.
December 2013 - 93 pts.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
