Kameradski Balsamico
A hybrid of a Russian Imperial Stout and an Oud Bruin. Opposites attract. This sweet-sour marriage combines the viscosity and robustness of a Russian Imperial Stout with the winy delicacy of our Flemish red ale. Tasting this beer is like a Soviet bombardment on your senses that throws you from Moscow to Modena and back, to find balance somewhere in the middle. The aroma reveals chocolate, raisins and Liège syrup, with a hint of port wine. The thick, sweet start creates the expectation of a cough syrup that pampers the throat. The tantalizing sourness when you swallow, however, crushes that expectation immediately, so you have to start all over again. Comrades, unite and drink this oil of brotherhood!
