Albert Le Coq - Estonia



We have been able to get this one for awhile, it is brewed by Harvey & Son in England under the supervision of the board of trustees of  A. Le Coq and Tartu Brewery, Estonia.
Albert Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout...$6.99  / 9.3oz
ABV: 9%
A. Le Coq & Co was founded in 1807 and at the start of the 20th century production was brought from London to Tartu, where the brewing of A. Le Coq Extra Double Stout began. This was a beer that in 1912 brought A. Le Coq the title of official court supplier to the Russian throne and was allegedly the favourite beer of Nicholas II of Russia. The tsar enjoyed eating oysters, which were served with a vinaigrette sauce made from Imperial Extra Double Stout.



This is the first time we have been able to get their other beers from their Estonian brewery.


Albert Le Coq Imperial Ale....$2.69 / 400ml
Rich top-fermented ale
ABV: 5.0%
A. Le Coq& Co was established in 1807. Production was moved from London to Tartu at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1912 A. Le Coq was chosen as the official supplier of the Russian emperor’s court and Imperial Extra Double Stout, which was brewed in Tartu, became available throughout the empire.
Imperial Ale is a top-fermented beer with a rich flavour bouquet. There is a perfect balance between the delicious bitter taste of hops and the sweetness of malt. The copper colour that characterises the best ales adds a respectability indicative of its imperial past.



Albert Le Coq Imperial Gold....$2.69 / 400ml
Pale lager
ABV: 4.8%
A. Le Coq & Co was established in 1807. Production was moved from London to Tartu at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1912 A. Le Coq was chosen as the official supplier of the Russian emperor’s court and Imperial Extra Double Stout, which was brewed in Tartu, became available throughout the empire.
Imperial Gold is a premium lager with a rich and full-bodied taste. The valuable malt used in the beer, which comes from Scotland, gives it a deep golden colour and thick head. The taste and appearance of Imperial Gold are as worthy of the attention of crowned heads today as they ever were.






Albert Le Coq Premium....$2.69 / 500ml
Pale lager
ABV: 4.7%
A. Le Coq Premium is a light yellow premium beer with dense bubbles. Its sweetish character is well balanced with the fresh bitterness of hops. Nuances of hops and bread can also be felt in the aroma of A. Le Coq Premium.
