North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

Bottle. Pours a dark tar brown with a thick brown head. Aroma of fruit when first poured. Smoke, fruit, coffee and spices. This beer is so well balanced that the EtOH can sneak up on you if you’re not careful.

Pours a dark, coffee color with a beautiful chocolate head. Malty and smooth.. aftertaste is perfectly balanced. Great presentation.

Poured a thick, inky brown-black. Like the coffee, dark, bitter, malt, alcoholic bite, a very well balanced beer. This stuff is good.

Coca-Cola color, light brown head. What jumps out at me is the carbonation with this beer. Heavier then most other stout, but in a nice, crisp way. The palate was thin. Tons of coffee in aroma and flavor. Dark fruits, roasted malt, not too bitter.

Nice Imperial Stout. Pours a very dark brown, nice head. Has a bitter taste of toffee and strong alcohol aftertaste. Nice, brew nonetheless.
