371) Home: St. Ambroise Russian Imperial Stout by McAuslan of Quebec: **1/2; another terrific RIP, a style I have become very fond of; this one weighs in at a very warming 9.2%; the nose is expresso with a touch of alcohol; rich bitter coffee flavours with a hint of chocolate; aged in bourbon wood;
In light of the recent surge in Russian readers (Russia now places third in terms of page views per country) I stood at attention, facing East, and toasted my friends not yet met from Russia with this dark brew. I will be thinkng of you on Monday at Toronto's Gardiner Ceramic Museum as I visit an exhibit called The Tsars' Cabinet - a collection of "decorative arts" from Imperial Russia.
