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 thanks to Homer. Pours opaque black, small brown creamy head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is vanilla, molasses, coffee grounds, cocoa. Flavor is quite sweet and quite bitter as well. Plenty of vanilla, cofeve, molasses. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, plenty of lingering bitterness.

Bottle, thanks Eddan. Black with a small tan head. Smooth with chocolate, dark malt, hazelnuts and vanilla. Sweetish and with a fairly long finish. A tasty one.

29.06.2017, 0,65l bottle @ home:
Nice dense brown creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly rich and sour-ish mineraly, dark sugar, minerals, booze, oak, bark, roasted grain, sour coffee, hops, dark malts, vanilla, toast. Taste is slightly sweet sour-ish mineraly, weeds, dark sugar, booze, grass, hops, minerals, oak, hay, vanilla, roasted grain, sour coffee, dark malts, bark, licorice. Longlasting dry bitterness, boozy mineraly mouthfeel. Nice, but some years in the cellar would be better...
