North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

Brewed by North Coast Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Fort Bragg, California USA

Wonderful beer, with a coffee and chocolate taste to it. This beer is a little bitter, but not overwhelming, it is a perfectly balanced imperial stout.

Pours dark with decent head. Very rich flavor of chocolate stout, but not too bitter. Delicious!

On tap. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma was full of all sort of dar notes with a nice smoked undertone. Flavor doesn’t disappoint with a dark smoked flavor throughout. Great beer!

Are you kidding me? Nose full of smokey, chocolatey oak with hints of caramel and floral fruits. Pours a dark brown/black color with an espresso head. Notes of chocolate, licorice, smoke, oak, and toffee mix on a silky and delicious palatte. Thank God I bought the four pack...

Creamy and smooth with notes of chocolate and coffee. Somewhat bitter aftertaste and taste of alcohol make this a bit less drinkable for me.

Black body, tan head. The aroma is of coffee grounds, bakers chocolate and roasted barley. The taste starts out with burnt malt and finishes with very dark chocolate, while never actually tasting bitter. Great beer. Definitely recommend this.

Very dark with minimal tan head. Slight taste of cocoa and subtle alcohol aftertaste. Rich, nutty flavor stays on the palate. Very smooth. I dig.

Near black with a thick mocha head. Aromas of roasted malt, lots of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, faint anise. Very smooth. Espresso, chocolate, spicy flavors ending with a bitter coffee taste. Very tasty.
