Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout
A_Pours jet black with an eruption of dark brown foam. Amazing lace and retention. Beautiful looking beer. S_A deep roasted malt combined with sweet chocolate and coffee. Very potent in a good way T_The taste is a bit different from the smell. Dark chocolate covered cherries and a light vanilla mix with a bit of sourness to create a well balanced imperial stout. The sweetness is tempered well with the acidity here. M_This style can get a bit too thick but this is not. Still thick but with a nice carbonation to cut through the viscosity. O_A very impressive beer. The alcohol is present but in no way hot. This hits the various notes of the sytle without falling into any of the common traps. Very well done.
