Cigar City Marshal Zhukov’s Imperial Stout

Submitted by Dan on February 2, 2010 – 1:11 pm No Comment

From Cigar City Brewing - Opaque black in color, the aroma has notes of espresso, chocolate, dark sweet toffee with hints of black strap molasses. The flavor starts with an unsweetened chocolate character and supporting notes of herbal dryness from English hop varietals. It then moves into dark toffee sweetness and closes with a slap of roasty espresso. Zhukov’s Imperial Stout pairs well with Mushroom Solyanka, dark chocolate, cherries and ground wars in Russia.  Enjoy, comrade.

Cigar City Brewing – Marshal Zhukov’s Imperial Stout – 750 ml bottle poured into a goblet. 11% abv.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a luxurious tan head.

Aroma: Freshly ground medium roasted coffee, dark chocolate, black forrest cake, and dark dried fruit.

Taste: Burnt roast, dark chocolate, chocolate cake, and espresso.

Mouthfeel: Thick, syrupy, but not super goopy.

Overall: A heavy, sexy impy!
