Aupa Tovarisch is one of the most respected and desired Russian Imperial Stouts in Spain. Laugar brings us this complex beer every winter, when its high ABV helps us to fight the cold. This beer has a dense brown foam and an opaque black colour with mahogany shine. The notes of liquorice and coffee are intense both in taste and aroma.

Yummy! Didn’t exactly taste of Jack Daniels, but definitely oak flavours.

I’m afraid this one was the first drain-pour for me in a good while. Shared this with a friend and was very excited to try this one but unfortunatly did not deliver. In fact we were both looking at it wondering if we dared to take another sip. Overly boozy and not balanced by flavour. The smell was very off-putting also. Avoid.

An excellent imperial stout from an excellent brewery. Unlike some brewerys who age in whisky casks, the Jack Daniels doesn’t overpower (in fact it’s very subtle). Strong liquorice and caramel tastes. Dark and rich. Excellent value for the quality.

One can feel the barrel, very good smell and aroma. Solid!

Full bodied, well balanced creamy delight.
Andrew –
My first Laugar beer and it certainly won’t be my last. Lots of barrel vibes and enough coffee to keep me up for a week.

Lovely and warming with chocolate notes

Lordy mama!

Ooo and it’s a big’un. A 12% impy stout! Pours with a very thin head, but at that abv it’s not going to have much head retention. Nice balance of hops, with a abundance of malt body, no astringent bitterness here implying possibly not roast barley, but maybe special III in use. On the whole quite a standard impy stout, but still good.would love to try more from this brewery on Spain’s northern coast.
Craig –
Amazing! Definitely get the coffee and liquorice In smell and taste. Get a nice warmth from the alcohol too which is nice in a beer like this!

Absolutely wonderful imperial stout – first I’ve had from Laugar but would definitely have again
Michael –
Big rich stout with loads of coffee, chocolate and dark fruits… the 12% is very well hidden
Nigel –

loved this!
Andrew –
Richer than a Russian Oligarch. Sweet, coffee, full bodied. End of session beer.
Andrew –
Well it’s definitely strong, but very harsh – not a great balance
Michael –
Nice, a lot of liquorice here.
Jacquline –
Thick, sweet and boozy! Flavours mellow and change as it sits, take your time and enjoy this one.
