Commercial Description:
Seems hard to believe that we’ve been making Old Rasputin for 10 years now, but that’s what’s happened. And, to celebrate the occasion, we’ve brewed a special small batch that’s been aged for 9 months in some 12 year-old bourbon barrels. It’s bottled in 500 ml bottles with a cork and wired finish and a special commemorative label ---- and it’s amazing. The depth, intensity and complexity of the flavor profile make it a worthy tribute to this fine beer. Available at the brewery. XII is 11.2% ABV

Rasputin XII. Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Shared at the Houston RB Tasting in October. Pours black with a thin tan head. Nose is bourbon, of course. Taste is of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate tootsie roll. Mouthfeel is dry. Good, but not great. Like the regular Old Rasputin better.

Bottle. Pours a black color with a large, tight brown head. Aromas of chocolate, bourbon, and roasted malts. Palate is extremely smooth with a creamy mouthfeel. Taste is heaven with bourbon, chocolate, and other malts. This is a great one!

Bottle. Pours black with a thick light tan head. Aroma of bourbon, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, slight booze. Flavor is chalky with bitter chocolate and chocolate malt, roasted malt, light bourbon notes, toffee, caramel malt. Decent beer, but I wouldn’t say it’s good enough to warrant the hefty price. 7/4/7/4/15 [3.7/5]

The aroma carries strong vanilla bean ice cream notes with some caramal and charred bourbon soaked wood. Black is the color with a deep tan head that fades fairly quickly. It is smooth with chocolatey tase and a an alcohol finish.

Bottle cheers to pops. when i was talking with him about this beer i commented if it was a wine it would be boreaux in terms of how refined it tastes. beautiful gorgeous complex nose, that isn’t in your face buttery smoky coffee notes. chocolate, flowery notes as well. mouthfeel is pure velvet. buttery bitter taste chocolate, long dry hop finish. this beer is extremely refined like a fine wine. it is absolutely gorgeous. the wood is a great addition to his beer i think. because it works alongside the beer, not overpowering it with other barrel aged beers. beautiful.
