His Dudeness, or The Dude, was 'born' after watching the cult film The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers. In the film, the main character 'The Dude' Lebowski knocked back one White Russian after another. Until then, the cocktail (made of vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream or milk) was typically labeled as an old-fashioned and boring drink, but in the late eighties, the White Russian experienced a true revival thanks to the film, and the cocktails were in high demand. This 'White Russian' became a Russian Imperial Milk Stout. A powerful, yet 'easy going' beer for anyone who wants to feel like El Duderino. A Russian Imperial Stout is high in alcohol. The Russians traded a lot with England in earlier times, and there the Russians enjoyed drinking a stout. They took the recipe home, but found it too weak. In Russia, a stout quickly became much stronger.
