Beer Description

While Big Swede is an ale, it is also lager aged much like the beers brewed in those Baltic breweries. Big Swede is brewed to the maltier side. It has a nose of vanilla, coffee, currants and wood.

Big Swede is a Swedish Style Imperial Stout that is brewed along the style of a Baltic Porter, but is much heavier and stronger. Exported ales (like Russian Imperial Stouts) were introduced from Britain in the 18th century. These were influenced by regional styles when they were produced locally in Sweden. The Swedes, being the good traders that they are, brewed the Swedish Imperial Stout and exported it to Russia themselves.
