North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

dark black, almost no head, smells like chocolate ice cream, full body, very rich flavor featuring coffee, chocolate, alcohol finish

Bottle. Pitch black pour with tan head. Little bit of coffee on the nose. Very intense and bitter....delicious.

One of my favorites.... -Dark, Black color -aroma-- n/c -Taste- rich, intense to the tongue...first sip is always a suprise....then smooth...

Bottle @ mondial de la biere in strsbourg. Nero impenetrabile.Molto intensi i profumi tostati..Al palato si presenta molto secca,non si avvertono affato i suoi gradi..evidenti anche al palato i caratteri del malto molto tostato..molto gradevole.

Rich dark, almost black, whispy dark head. Roasted malts, alcohol, hints of chocolate in the flavor. Medium-thick body, little on the dry side finishing. This is ok, I was expecting something with more mouthfeel, more flavor. I guess I was expecting a robust porter like beer. Nicely done tho.

Pours black with a nice brown head which retains down to the bottom of the glass. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is big roasted malts. Flavor of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate with a dry, bitter finish. Rich, creamy, and smooth mouthfeel. A bit of alcohol bite, and an excellent overall Russian Imperial Stout.

Burnt roasty aroma, some cherry??? chocolate, a touch of coffee... Big flavor, creamy, roasty, burnt, chocolatey, a touch of coffee, complex.. nicie beer, full bodied, not too heavy, a touch boozy... very traditional Russian Imperial Stout..

@Freaktoberfest 2006 bottle, pours black opaque with a thick creamy chocolate color head, intense aroma of dark chocolate, roasted almonds, cream and great whiskey tones, flavors of deeply roasted malts, espresso, dried fruits, caramel balancing acidity, long lasting aftertaste, real amazing complexity. Thick and full bodied. What a treat
