This Russian Imperial Stout is dedicated to Georgy Zhukov, arguably one of the finest generals of World War II. Specifically, it is dedicated to the push by Zhukov's 1st Belorussian Front of the Red Army through the German-occupied territory of East Prussia in early 1945., setting the stage for the Red Army's final maneuver into Berlin to end the war. Freshly roasted coffee beans and vanilla were added to this juggernaut of an imperial stout, the only style of beer bold and strong enough to share its name with The Marshall himself.

2017 Vintage
22oz bottle poured into a tulip

A- pours thick and jet black with a one-finger foamy khaki head that reduces to a ring

S- aroma gives bold notes of fresh roasted coffee and mocha cream, chocolate brownie batter, charred malt, anise, bakers chocolate and an underlying note of vanilla bean that adds some heavy cream notes as well

T- initial impressions of taste is actually loaded with dark fruits; raisins, figs and prunes. Mid-palate brings out an earthy espresso note that is complimented by a creamy mocha note as well. Charred malt, molasses & black licorice on the finish, before giving way to a hint of vanilla creeping through. Lingers of espresso, chocolate and char

M- medium-heavy body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns creamy into a velvety, slightly warming finish

O- thick, chewy and full flavored, a fantastic sipper

Bottle at share from Kyle. Black, oily, silky pour. Sweet aroma of chocolate and cinnamon. Taste is more sweetness, breakfast flavors. Silky, smooth, mild warmth.

2017 bottle poured into a snifter. When cold I didn't pick up a lot of coffee or vanilla in the nose but did as it warmed. The coffee was much more present to me than vanilla in taste. Moderately thick with medium carbonation. A bit too much bitter roast for my tastes. I did not care for this as much as I had expected.
