🌍 Denmark · Russian Imperial Stout · One of 4 Russian Imperial Stouts in hopIQ

A Russian imperial stout at 10 percent — the name is a portmanteau of three heads of state, and the brewery calls the beer a tribute to the world's most powerful men. The style has a fitting backstory: it was brewed in the 1700s for the court of Catherine the Great, because English stout only survived the passage to St Petersburg with more alcohol in it. At 10 percent, Trumputkim stands in that tradition — a beer you drink slowly because there's no other way.

Full-bodied and gently sweet.

A slow, coating pour that settles on the tongue and rewards the sip that follows.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Trumputkim

Appearance

Deep black-brown with a ruby undertone when held to light, characteristic of the style's high SRM. A dense, tan head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving thick residue with each sip. The body is opaque and viscous, moving slowly across the surface.

Aroma

The nose opens with roasted grain and dark chocolate, followed by layered notes of dried dark fruit — plum and raisin. Beneath lies a gentle coffee earthiness with subtle alcohol warmth that doesn't dominate. Molasses sweetness threads through without cloying.

Taste

The palate enters rich and full, with roasted barley and cocoa leading. Mid-palate reveals layers of dark stone fruit and subtle coffee bitterness that balances the substantial malt sweetness. The alcohol presence is felt as warmth and body rather than sharp heat, making this a beer to sip slowly as the brewery intends.
