Growler pour courtesy of TampaBrew. Pours deep dark sludge with lasting mocha head. Good looking brew. The aroma has chocolate, some roastiness, a touch of oak followed by fudge brownie. The taste is roasty malts running to roastier and then burnt malts. Those notes blend into rich chocolate and mild oak. By midway oak, roasty malts, black strap molasses, chocolate and a mild amount of what tastes like dark fruitiness takes this to the finish. Lingering into the after taste are thin layers of chocolate and highly roasted malts. Very little port influence from what I could tell.

Dec 16, 2009 Handbottled. Entered to celebrate my rating number 15,300. A pitch black beer with a thin very dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of roasted malt, soy sauce, wood, and some alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of soy sauce, roasted malt, caramel, wood, and prunes, leading to a dry woody finish. Thanks a lot MadsBerg for sharing.

Dec 4, 2009 500ml swingtop once again courtesy of Andrew... Pours a mostly dense black pour with a medium sized tan head such that it shows plenty of life still... Aroma of boozy red fruit upfront and then the imperial stout qualities
surface. Sweet after-aroma... Flavors are not as ashy as the previous incarnations of Zhukov that I’ve had although a little
ashy bitterness comes through in the finish. Not as fruit and winey in the flavor. Port not too apparent unfortunately. Smooth full mouthfeel.

Dec 3, 2009 Black color with a thin tan sheen. Black licorice, astringent tobacco, boozy aromas. Oily mouthfeel. Boozy, burnt malt bitter flavors with dry bakers chocolate, mild vinous sourness. Another over the top brew i would have a hard time drinking more than a few sips of.
