Commercial Description:
Pozharnik is an intensely flavored Russian Imperial Stout infused with espresso that compliments its rich chocolate & roasted malt character. Pozharnik is guaranteed to warm a winter chill with its 8.1% ABV and dark fruit (raisin & plum) undertones. Notes of whiskey aromatics are brought on by the aging process in a “single barrel” whiskey cask.

Pozharnik is an intensely flavored Russian Imperial Stout infused with espresso and (vanilla beans which are new for 2007) and an improved mouthfeel that compliments its rich chocolate & roasted malt character. Pozharnik is guaranteed to warm a winter chill with it’s increased ABV now at 10%. Undertones of dark fruit (raisin & plum) and licorice with low bittering hops make this vintage beer worthy of cellaring for many years to come. Finishing notes of whiskey aromatics are once again brought on by the aging process in a “single barrel” whiskey cask.
Won a Silver Medal at the 2007 IBF.

Bottle shared by bhensonb. This black ale poured with a decent tan head and a strong coffee aroma. There is a delicious full-bodied coffee flavor with a little chocolate and a nice oak finish. A nice brew.

Bottle from Cletus. Hope you enjoy the Rorie’s as much as I did this. Pours black with a good tan head. Nice coffee aroma. Flavor is coffee, dark toast malt and a lot of chocolate aspect. Finishes with a good touch of treacle. It’s realy not dry. Similar to Oden’s Tipple. Nice ale.

A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Standard but good black body and tan head looks. Grainy and fruity, some coffee bitterness and a truck load of American chocolate. Nice and roasty but a little too lactic for me. The barrel is barely there which is a good thing and the faint oaky hints are good. Decent but just not something I could get excited about.

Bottle at LCRBM 5 at Kulminator. Some coffee. But more choc than anything else. Burnt flavours in the mouth and mouthfeel.

Tap at U Jacks. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a smaller bubbly off white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, toasted malt, nuts and vanilla. Flavor of vanilla, oak, caramel, chocolate, tobacco and mixed nuts.

On tap at Capones. Pours a deep black with a medium creamy tan head that left nice sticky lacing. Aroma of coffee, a bunch of vanilla, light oak, chocolate milk shake and just really nice. Flavor was pretty much the same. A really nice and smooth almost milkshake chocolate meets vanilla followed with a nice touch of coffee. I really enjoyed this one!

Bottle, thanks to danielcurtis81for sharing on his wedding week. Pours pitch black with a brown edge and quickly fading tan head. Has a sweet chocolate malt nose with some coffee. Taste is similar to nose with some faint red fruit, but a little lacking in complexity. Very good overall.
