On tap at Poor Henry’s, sinister Russian Imperial distorts sweet brown chocolate setting with hop-charred grain roast and dry-spiced vanilla sweetener for ‘freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream’ sedation. Mild black-malted mocha smokiness, teasing strawberry nip and distant blackberry rip fortify soy-sauced coffee backdrop. Not sure everything’s balanced, but it sure is uniquely qualified to satisfy bolder dark ale imbibers.
