From the brewer

We like to call the Little Czar a Russian "seshperial" stout. Like a traditional Russian Imperial Stout, it’s a little bit licorice and a little bit chocolate and a lot of flavor. Unlike the traditional style, it won’t knock your block off with alcohol.

Who's been drinking this

Not nearly as good on nitro as it was on cask, but then again I've never liked nitro. Still strong, considering.
Draft at PNA Beer Taste, Seattle
A nice frothy head for a cask pour, this stout is extra-thick and creamy with a semi-sweet, almost malted-milk-ball flavor. Keeping it honest is a touch of tangy bitterness on the finish. The flavor is simple, but this is easily the most successful Hi-Fi brew I've tried to date. (10 oz schooner)
