Kernel - Imperial Brown Stout, LONDON 1856 - 20L Keykeg

Imperial Brown Stout, brewed from an 1856 Barclay Perkins recipe.

This is the stout that eventually became known as the Russian Imperial Stout – and more specifically, the base for Courage RIS, a beer that carried London’s brewing legacy through to the 1990s. We’ve revived the original form, not as a recreation, but as a continuation.

Despite the name, this beer is very much black. Language moves on. The flavour stays.
