Revolution (RIS)

Revolution (RIS)

This beer was born for greatness. Sent by English brewers via the Baltic Sea to the court of the Czars, Russian Imperial Stout was brewed to very high gravities and allowed to ferment on the long voyage. The result? A dark, strong and bracing brew.

 

Propeller's version weighs in at a whopping eight percent alcohol content, with a deep, rich, black colour. The taste of alcohol is well masked by the intense hop bitterness, extreme roasted malt and dark fruit notes.

 

Propeller Brewing Company has brewed and bottled this unfiltered ale each year since 2006, making Propeller the extreme brewing pioneers of Nova Scotia. This seasonal offering is only available at the Propeller Cold Beer Store on Gottingen Street, and select private retailers in Halifax.

What Others Are Saying
When is this beer available? I don't see dates and it isnt at the Gottingen street store.
Long live the Revolution! This is an amazing brew. I am looking forward to getting some again soon. Every year since I tried this I get some when it is available. If you like beer, you'll love Revolution.
Love this stout
MMMMM Good , Always happy to be able a couple of these !
This'll put hair on your chest.
My ALL TIME FAVORITE beer!!!!!! Have drank it since the first brewing and it is now one of my top holiday traditions!!!!
Had some this spring, man was I disappointed when I went back the next week and it was gone. Can't wait for it to come back.
Again, you started the local trend of Russian/Imperial/Baltic style porter and stout, and you still do it best.
I just bought a bottle of this ... I'm usually wary of stouts and dark beers with high alcohol percentage but this was a pleasant surprise! It is very good and I'll definitely buy more of this in the future. It's easy to actually drink down like some 5%
I just hope I can have some (preferably plenty) during the brewery tour we have booked for this Super Bowl Sunday!
