Canada, NS: Propeller Brewing releases winter seasonal, Russian Imperial Stout

Propeller Brewing has announced the return of its always anticipated winter seasonal, which is back for its 8th year, Canadian Beer News reported on December 3.

Revolution Russian Imperial Stout is described as follows:

Propeller brews this unique ale true to its traditional roots; in the 18th century the English sent their brews via the Baltic Sea to the court of the Czars. To reduce the risk of spoilage Russian Imperial Stout was brewed to very high gravities and allowed to ferment on the long voyage.

The result: A dark, strong and bracing brew. Propeller’s version weighs in at eight percent alcohol by volume and boasts a deep, opaque black colour. It has tremendous body and mouth feel, with intense hop bitterness, roasted malt and dark fruit notes.

Revolution is available now at select NSLC outlets and private liquor stores in Nova Scotia, and at the Propeller retail stores in Halifax and Dartmouth.
