North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

Bottle. Average size, creamy light brown diminishing head. Black hazy body. Heavy malt aroma of chocolate, coffee and burnt malt, smoke, tar and tobacco. Full, creamy body and average carbonation. The flavor has a long duration is moderate/heavy sweet and moderate bitter. A very nice imperial stout.

Pours dark brown/black with small brown head. Woody aroma hints of chocolate and some dried banana. Strong coffee flavor with hints of dark chocolates, quick bitter bite with incredibly long finish. Full bodied but not the as mush as many other imperial stouts I’ve had. Great beer but not as complex as I had expected, almost like sipping on some java.

Very Bitter beer Not too much head. really dark. Smells of chocolate but tast like burned coffee.

Poured rich black with a dark head. Smelled like chocolate. Had a rich coffee flavor slightly sweet and bitter. Full bodied and excellent.

This is a Great IMPY. Slightly fruity nose, pours black as hell. Nice dark tan head that laces nicley. Flavor is caramely, taosty, and roasty. warm towards the end with a bit of sweet chocolate and coffee as well. great beer!

Pitch black with small beige head.Aroma of rosted coffee and dark chocolate.Flavor is mild malty with smooth mouth feels creamy nice finish well done beer.

Pours into a snifter thick and black and has a thin head that sticks around. It smells of rich chocolate milk and, if swirled, liquorice. Tastes more like roasted coffee beans and chocolate. Smooth mouth feel - just the right amount of carbonation. The malt sticks to the tongue and lasts until every next sip. Excellent.

Very dark and rich This is the first bottle of Russian Imperial Stout that I have ever tried. I liked it, but it seems too rich and a little overwelming. Tastes better near the end of the glass as it warms.
