North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

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

Bottle. I love this brewery and this beer is a good example of why. Poured motor oil black with a dark brown head. Very pleasent aromatic aroma of sweet roasted malt and coffee. The flavor starts sweet quickly revealing underlying roasted malt, chocolate, and bitter hops. Dry finish with hints of coffee. Great beer.

very strong stout flavour throughout.. pours solid black no head..coffee flavour is nice..bottle

Very dark pour. The high alcohol content is masked by a nice coffee flavor.

12 ounce bottle. This is a damn fine looking beer. As dark as a beer can beer and it smelled just like a fresh cup of coffee. Very delicious some chocolate to go with the coffee and some nice malt aftertaste really well done beer would buy again

A great stout. Pours thick and rich - nose of chocolate and mahogany. Wonderful blend of smoky alcohol. Flavor is of burnt nuts. Great beer! Will be coming back for more.

Aroma strong of coffee. Chocolate and coffee power straight through the tongue. Gets more intense as it warms. Definitely a nice buy

From the bottle, I poured an inky black glass with a decent caramel head. Not a lot in the aroma, though I’ve been a little stopped up of late. But once it hits the mouth, man, a pounding of chocolate, hop, caramel & vanilla malts, smoke, oatmeal. What a way to go. Finish is smooth for a stout, let alone an Imperial stout, and leaves a nice lingering chocolate and vanilla in your mouth.

Bottle. Smoky notes, with chocolate and coffee. Little to no head. Nice syrupy mouth feel. Tastes of smoke, chocolate and coffee.
