Thanks to Aaron Bennett for the Charlie Papazian text I'd requested.
I've seen some bollocks written about beer history, but this take the whole McVitie's warehouse:
"Most barley wines are golden or copper colored. One style that is a deep rich copper brown is represenetd by Russian Imperial Stout brewed by the Courage Brewery in England. It is a style unto itself, not really a stout in the traditional sense , but historically named for its strength."
"The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian, page 135.
Even the worst writers realise Russian Stout is, er, a Stout. He can't have ever tried the beer. It's pitch black and the flavour is, well, Stouty.
I'm gobsmacked.
