This Russian Imperial Stout is dedicated to Georgy Zhukov, arguably one of the finest generals of World War II. Huge in body with strong flavors of espresso, chocolate and molasses, this unique iteration of Zhukov’s adds roasted hazelnuts and vanilla to impart even more complexity and depth of flavor to this massive, jet-black stout. In the immortal words of Marshal Zhukov himself, “Есть вещи в России, которые не являются, как они кажутся.”

Bottle bought some time ago at Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. The booze is at the fore of the aroma, over a rich nutty chocolate. Dark and glossy. Tan head soon shrinks away. Medium-heavy bitter with a sour touch and increasing umami. Boozy. Hazelnut with coffee and dark chocolate. A roasty edge. The vanilla gradually adds a pinch of sweetness. A lot going on. Thick bodied. Creamy. Flat carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Lovely stuff.

deep dark Brown colour, moderate sized dense creamy brown head; aroma of hazelnut chocolate, nutmeg, slight vanilla notes and hints of burnt plum jam; taste has the same notes; amazingImperial stout! Many thanks for sharing, kapusil! Note to the brewery: you should not use one of the Russian agressor's war marshals as the name of your beer because it's a shame! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj1MTTArzPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptfn8LX8o1A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12CsEuxN5vQ this is what they are doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fWv7ZK70bI As a sign of my disagreement, I am changing the 'overal rating' to the minimum; as soon as you give up using the name of a f_cking russian motherf_cker, I'll change my rating back
