Urban Chestnut Bourbon Barrel Thrale's with Sour Cherry

Peter the Great came to love rich, dark porters during his trips to England and requested them to be sent to the Russian Imperial courts. Russian Imperial Courts. Unfortunately, the beer did not survive the long journey. In 1796, London brewery, Thrale’s, responded by increasing the alcohol and hops in their porter, delivering a richer and heartier brew able to survive the long export. Thrale himself proclaimed, “she’ll keep for seven years”. Seeking the same longevity, Thrale, we have created our homage to the original brewer of the Imperial Stout. This time, however, we finished ours by secondary fermention with sour cherries…we think they would approve.
