Filtering removes a lot of the character of all beers and reduces flavour and aroma. Sadly, a vast number of the world's flavoursome beers were lost when modern- brewing techniques pushed traditional methods aside. Both Ben and Keith are proud of their ales and feel sure that you too will be proud to have any of the range in your cellar collection where they can be enjoyed on any occasion and will develop further character under cellar conditions over time. It has a strong hop presence from many additions of copper hops and dry hopping in cask. Dark orange colour, similar to that of Orval.
Orange peel flavours.
Very appetising indeed. Beer Hunter March 1999. Gold Medal Australian International beer awards, May 1998. In years gone by the English exported thousands of barrels of thick black stout through the Baltic nations to fortify the Russians. Today only one or two examples of the style survive and it is hoped that this Russian Export Stout will help keep this classic ale from dying out altogether.
