North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

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

Really, really really good beer... one of my favorites.. great chocolate finish. and perfect alcohol content imo..

Very pretty pour..you should watch. Chocolate head on a black bottom.. Very fresh and refreshing going down. Fresh malt caramel, raisin, chocolate hops. Very even and fills with taste. A great brew. 2nd rating; I like. Nice hops on the tongue. Like espresso, fine coffee and great beer at the same time. Great beer : but how is it my highest rating? This isn’t the best beer I’ve tasted...is it? What would be a 5 then?

Very black pour, almost opaque. Has a very strong aroma of dark roasted barley that gives it an almost chocolate smell. Quite thick and has standard Stout bitter, yet pleasent, aftertaste. You should try it if you can find it. Great beer.

Even though it is a stout, it has a barly/red wine flavor. Very, very strong. Can really taste the alcohol. It’s almost too strong to drink in large gulps because of the strenght.

On Tap. Outstanding taste. Very dark, black colour. creamy texture. Strong roasted coffee taste. would love to try in a Black and Tan.

Pretty amazing beer! Tons of nice flavours such as, hardly roasted malts, caramell, cascade (or similar citrusy-hop flavour), toffee, and some honey too! I am lucky to have three more of this in my cellar. :)

Great aroma with hints of chocolate and hazelnut. Smooth flow with a perfect balance of malt and hops. Little head with this brew, pours nice and black. A wonderful hearty brew that warms the soul from within. Nothing bad about this, I recommend you try this.

Pours a nice dark rich brown color with a nice thick tan head. Aroma of Coffee, chocolate, vanillia, and carmel had a bit of an alcohol smell to. The flavor was dominated by coffee, with chocolate and nice toasty hops. With a nice bitter coffee finish, slight alcohol taste. Overall a very good Imperial stout very hearty.
