Imperial Czar

Have 5 Russian Imperial Stouts to claim the Imperial Czar badge.

A style developed in the 1700s by British brewers, Russian Imperial Stouts were brewed for export and had a high ABV of 7% or more to last the trip. They were favoured by the court of the Russian Tsars, leading to the Imperial name.

The Russian market was closed in the 19th century and those same British brewers had to find other export markets, which directly led to the creation of the Indian Pale Ale.

The term Imperial has now become synonymous with strong beers and this is down to the popularity of the Russian Imperial Stout.
