De Molen Rasputin

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Imperial Stout
Bodegraven, Netherlands

75 cl bottle thanks to ekstedt. Cark reddish brown to black color, tan head. Sweet, alcohol, some spice, scent. Sweet, salty, acohol taste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Bottle: Clear dark red colour, with a werry nice creamy head. Aroma of raisins,dark Choclate, som citric, and bitternes in the end. Flavor is almost the same here, has a bit of cocoa,dark choclate,dry fruit/raisins in the end. Nice big body, long citric/fruity finish. Complex beer this one.

Bottle. A sweet aroma, reminds me a little bit of cacao, malty, a hint of raisin. The head is large, light brown and creamy-fizzy, long duration. The body is black. A really long staying taste, light bitter. Malty and oily taste (light motor oil in a positive way). The body is creamy-oily, nearly no carbonation and a quite heavy body. A really nice beer, worth every cent.

Bottle what a pain in the ass to open. Brown dull mahogany body with a 1 finger tan head. Fruity esters all over the place; plum, raisin, coriander come to mind. Note of chocolate, with a bittersweet licorice accent. Nice with a moderate etoh warming never cloying. Good

750 ml bottle - bottle #90 from june 2008; corked and waxed? not a good combo to start another confusing beer from De Molen; pours clear, cola brown with very thin light tan head; maybe the lightest impy i’ve ever seen; aromas are very mild with a mix of caramel, toffee and dank fruit; nothing stout-ish here with no roasted qualities of any kind; drinks equally thin, slightly dry and generally flavorless; get a mild fruity, malty taste; a very weird and disappointing beer, esp. for the price

Bottle: Dark brown, light tan head, no lacing. Nose of juniper, carbon, chocolate, coffee, light fruity astringency and a light caramel note. Bright acidity and bitterness balance. Lots of astringency too which is muted. Dry though overall but everything else gives it an odd sweet twangy balance. Good foreign imperial stout. Hops prominent even.

A 0.75L bottle shared at Pikkulintu.Thanks Markku. Chocolate in the nose. Large brown head. Brown reddish colour. Mild chocolate in the taste. Soft sweet and fullty taste. Mild hops. Some licorice and coffee in the nose.

(750ml bottle, #65 of 297) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of smoke, licorice, coffee, light vinous, and grilled meat. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, and dark fruits with a dry finish.
