North Coast Brewing - Old RasputinThis is a Russian Imperial Stout. What does all that mean? Put simply, it is a dark Russian beer! The pour of this is what made my eyes open wide. It was very dark, with a nice mocha head that took some time to go down. The smell was full roasted malts. They were so appealing that I had to dive in. The taste is what set me back. Yes it was coffee and chocolate flavored with a good amount of bitters. I could not tell if that was all the hops, or something else. The bitterness lingered in the mouth for quite some time. This is a beer that I could only have one, maybe two of in a sitting.

Specs: 12oz bottle
9% Alcohol
