Imperial Extra Double Stout
Harvey & Sons (Lewes) LTD. -- Lewes, East Sussex BN7 2AH, England
Under the supervision of the board of trustees of A. Le Coq and Tartu Brewery, Estonia
ABV: 9%

"After the import traffic increased dramatically in the early 1900's. A. Le Coq was invited by the Tsarist government to brew his legendary Imperial Extra Double Stout within the Russian Empire. In 1912 the first Imperial Extra Double Stout left the Brewery in Tartu, the former province of Livonia, now Estonia. World War I and the Russian Revolution, however, brought a dramatic end to A. Le Coq's venture. Production ceased until 1921 and his brewery was nationalised by the Bolshevik government. The Facsimile label on each bottle of Imperial Extra double Stout pays homage to A. Le Coq without whom this classic style would never have reached its legendary place in the world of beers."

The style Imperial Russian Stout and the name Albert Le Coq are synonymous. In the early 1800's the Belgian A. Le Coq exported Imperial Stout from England to Russia and the Baltic area.
