North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

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

Aroma-Awesome with the chocolate dominating but not in an intrusive manner. Appearance-Perfect!! Everything a true Russian Imperial Stout should strive to be. Pitch black, great brown head that lingers and laces nicely on the glass. Flavor-Very complex. Gets more complex over time but in a word: Fucking Awesome!! Great flavor. Palate-Very complex and balanced. Great. Overall impression-Great fucking beer. Love this beer. Most Russian Imperial Stouts fatigue the tastebuds but I could drink this all night long. Highly recommended.

Pours pitch black, Huge brown head. Very oily, very strong chocolate malt flavour. This is a very impressive stout. notes of chocolate and coffee it is really this stout is givimg me evry thing I want oput of a stout. Really great!

i drank this beer 2 days ago. right now, i’ve already had 3 Brooklyn Black Chocolate’s, soo, yeah.. the most striking thing about this beer that i recall was the appearance. beautiful head, lace, dark, opaque, mmmm. great overall taste, but the appearance on this fucker was outstanding.

35cl bott@Strasbourg Mondial de la Biere. Intense burnt caramel aromas. Long lasting cream color foam. Intense burnt falvours, but dissappearing immediatly. Not like the one I remembered from lastime.

Bottle from Abingdon, VA. Flavors of coffee, chocolate and burnt malt. Dark black color with medium head. Fantastic.

Pours a thick, black with an amber coloured head. This beer tastes of burnt malt, rye bread and dark brown sugar. It has a texture just a bit thinner than syrup and a burnt-sugar aftertaste. Overall, a very good beer, but not an extremely versatile one.

Bottle. Medium sized brown head and a pitch black color. Nutty aroma of coffee and dark chocolate.Malty flavor with chocolate and raisin as well as coffee. An outstanding imperial stout which hides the ABV well.

Bottle 33. Very deep, creamy and intensive imperial sout. Malt flavour is full of aroma, chocolate, cofee, caramel, rosted malt some valilla at the finish. Slightly acid, quite complex, well balanced. A big pleasure to drink ...
