What we're sipping: Tuatara XV Russian Imperial Stout

In 2015, Tuatara cellared a special birthday brew – XV Russian Imperial Stout. One year on, this beer is on the shelves and the results are worth celebrating

In 2015, Tuatara celebrated their quindecennial year as a brewery. In celebration of many years of beautiful brews, they created a limited edition Russian Imperial Stout, XV. They cellared this stunning beer (upright, of course – they do things a wee bit differently to their vinetarian cousins) over the past year and, just like Tuatara brewery, XV has improved with age.

XV won a silver medal in the Porter & Stout category at The Brewers Guild of NZ Awards in September 2015, which is another testament to its wonderful flavour. Since then, XV has been sitting in the cellar honing those award-inducing rich, chocolatey, malty flavours.

And the results? Sensational.

Try Tuatara's XV with strong cheeses, chocolate desserts or gamey meats – we know you'll love it. 

Available in 500ml bottles, XV is a limited edition brew, so get in quick!
