Kris with Valiant Brewing’s Kelly Schoepfer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It seems like forever since I first sat down with Brian Schroepfer, one of the owners and Head Brewer at Valiant Brewing, to talk about potentially slotting his big, bad Russian Imperial Stout in The Rare Beer Club<\/a>\u00ae.\u00a0 Since that time, we\u2019ve all been eagerly awaiting the batch that he\u2019s made just for us, and this week, Brian dropped off the goods.\u00a0 My team and I wasted no time busting open a couple of bottles after work on Friday and I have to say, it is outstanding!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s big. It\u2019s viscus. It\u2019s smoky. It\u2019s delicious!\u00a0 Like the sample we rated back in August, we all found it surprisingly approachable for such a big beer.\u00a0 Huge mouthfeel.\u00a0 Big roasted notes, as you\u2019d expect, with smoky chocolate malt flavors intermingled with vanilla and hints of cherries, all of which integrated perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"valiant-cherny-medved\"<\/a>Don\u2019t take my word for it; read the Chernyy Medved tasting notes<\/a> written by Ken Weaver, our newsletter writer and the editor at All About Beer Magazine.\u00a0 But be warned, it\u2019s going to cost you if you do, because you won\u2019t be able to resist giving it to the beer geek in your life\u2026 or picking up a few bottles for yourself!\u00a0 This one will be one of our two Rare Beer Club\u00ae featured December beers, so be sure to order by 12-20-15.<\/p>\n

If you do order a bottle or two, be sure to save some money by using our rare craft beer club coupons<\/a> on every order.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to thank me. This is a really special beer. You\u2019ll want to toss one back now because you won\u2019t be able to wait, and lay a couple down, as it will age nicely.<\/p>\n

Prost!
