If they still make it, if you can find it, and can afford it, then maybe you could drink some Sam Smith's Imperial Russian Stout[/A-Team]



I've not seen it in 20-odd years, but I have tried it. Makes Guinness Export Stout taste like watered-down Murphy's.

I'm *SURE* I've bought some of that from our local independent wine and beer specialist in Swindon - next time I'm in there I'll check. They do some really obscure stuff and some of my favourite Belgian beers

In Uzbekistan, I drank a Baclava (sp?) number 9 or some such brew....very potent Russian type beer.

my favourite ss pub yet discovered. makes you wonder how some places can justify charging £4.20 for a pint of peroni.

I haven't tried that one as yet - will add it to the list!!

£1.70?!!!

It's over three quid for a pint of foreign muck brewed in a Wolverhampton shed served at 0.1 degrees Kelvin in a filthy glass by a bored dirty teenager with food all over them down here

it was £1.66 until a few weeks ago, the 4p increase nearly caused a riot! you get it in a squeaky clean oversize pint glass so theres always room for a head (very important up north). its also kept very very well. you also get the privelige of drinking said pint in a old fashioned but nicely decorated pub, which doesnt have a pool table, doesnt have a TV, and doesnt play music. just beer and conversation. This IMO is pub nirvana, Long live the Anchor in Guisbrough!
