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.”

While I detect no hazelnut & very limited vanilla I quite like this heavy roasty impy. Not very refined or fancy but does the trick anyway.

Almost black, bit of beige foam. Fresh chocoa in the nose, quite raw and not very pungent sweetness. Taste is juicy, liquid cocoa and chocolate. Creamy and has some boozy bitterness in the finish. Hot tingle in the throat. Excellent.

Looks like motor oil. Smells like amazing dark chocolate, vanilla and hazelnut and dark fruit. Low carbonation with hazelnut and tons of vanilla. Super low carbonation. Very sweet like a dessert beer. Not really a beer but so much marshmallows, Quick and hazelnut. Wow good stuff
