North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

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

[Bottle, saved since february 2007] Dark color, light brown foam. Flavor is smooth with hops, There is also chokolate, bitterness and some honey.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep dark mahogany almost black with a big tan head. Fades pretty quickly. Smells of burnt chocolate malt with a nice dose of hops. Taste is good with coffee and a bit of hops. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium to light carbonation. Nice cold evening sipper. This is a great stout.

Pours very dark-black, with a nicely sized brown head. Fantastic aroma. Delicious taste of roasted malt, and coffee.

Black in color with a good sized dark tan head. Aroma is heavily roasted with dark chocolate, coffee, caramel and dark fruits. Taste is of coffee and chocolate with a heavy raostiness.

Black as night, with quickly dissipating 1 finger head, with brown foam that hung around for awhile. Aroma is amazing, and can be smelled without holding it to my nose. smells of coffee and roasted malts. Taste is sweet malts and coffee, not getting any chocolate. Does have a nice hop bitterness in the finish, which is quite nice with this one because of the sweetness. This is a sipper for sure. Very nice brew on a cold night such as tonight! I think anyyone who enjoys good beers, needs to at least try this one out.

I have had better. Don’t get me wrong, this beer certainly hit the goal that it was headed for, strong, alcoholic flavor, malts, smokiness, violent. But I do not taste caramels, coffees, sugars- I like my Imperial Stouts to be complex, full of flavors that fade in and out with each sip. This tastes like beer mixed with peat-smoked scotch. One thing is for sure though, it does make you want to fuck. (7.99 per six pack at Gulf Liquors in Miami Beach)
