Russian Imperial Stout
Russian Imperial Stout is a stout of the Russian imperial style, as its name says, from the U Medvídků microbrewery in the old malthouse of the Prague Old Town house, where onsite brewing returned on 17 November 2004. It stands apart from the lagers and specials that make up most of the house range.
