Kremlin Crude
Beer Here

Copenhagen 4/9 2021. 33 cl bottle from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh. Ø. Label made in style of an old Soviet propaganda poster with a working class hero with a square jaw hailing with a glass of stout in front of a oil tower.

Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head. Settles as thin patch of foam unable of covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a dark sweet odor mingling with earthy fumes scantily hiding a boozy scent. Brown sugar, dark roasted malts, toffee. Musty humidity. Wet tobacco.

Light carbonation. Thick, oily, soft, fat, viscous texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is surprisingly bitter with a notable sweet undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is semi-dry with a boozy streak.

Not especially crude. But a solid Imperial Stout without a great deal of surprises.

 

Don't let the smell run you off

Awesome, is this my favorite Russian Imperial Stout ?

16.9 ounce bottle, no dating that I could find on the bottle or label. Served in a Great Lakes brewing snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with a couple inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like peaty smoke, burnt/charred malt, coffee and some bittersweet chocolate. The taste is mostly like the aroma, but there's also some molasses, licorice and dark fruitiness noticeable. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's creamy and coating with a good amount of carbonation. I liked this a lot, and I'd buy this again the next time I come across a bottle. It's full of smoky, peaty and burnt/charred flavors, and that's always a plus for me! $11.99 a bottle.

P: Opaque brown, two finger riot beer head. Wonderful lacing.
A: Roasted malts, burnt sugars, alcohol.
T: Roasted chocolate, roasted malts, burnt sugar, smoke,
M: Medium body, medium carbonation, alcohol, sweet, syrupy,
O: This is not a bad IRS, actually, very good. A bit much alcohol.
