- - -

This Russian Imperial Stout is dedicated to Georgy Zhukov, arguably one of the finest generals of World War II. Opaque black in color, with notes of espresso, chocolate, dark toffee and hints of backstrap molasses. The English hop varietals provide a subtle herbal dryness, and finishes with a hearty slap of roasty espresso. Pair Marshal Zhukov’s with Mushroom Solyanka, dark chocolate, cherries and ground wars in Russia.

We brew and release Zhukov's in the summer knowing that a beer of this heft reaches its full potential a few months after release. So save a bottle for the cold winter!

Tasting Notes

Pours an opaque black with a deep brown colored head with forward notes of espresso, chocolate and wood and moderate notes of toffee. Flavors upfront have notes of coffee/espresso and chocolate with a woody to floral bitterness and notes of dark toffee that lead into a long mocha/espresso finish.
