All beers that are tagged “AlphaBeer VIII” and “Chef Jill Houk” are from that tasting, and the notes are hers.

There’s more than vodka in Russia; There’s Zatecky Gus. It’s a Czech style pilsner with a light flavor. Perfect for that heavy Russian cuisine.
This beer has “double chocolate” in its name. Do we need to say more? Didn’t think so.
