North Coast Old Rasputin

This 9.0% ABV Russian Imperial Stout is from the North Coast Brewing Company of Fort Bragg, California. 


The beer pours pitch black in color. There is nearly an inch of light brown head that leaves rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is dark roasted malt, char, dark fruits, light mocha. The taste follows the aromas, a well-balanced blend of dark roast malt flavors, adding in more coffee than in the aroma. The finish is very dry and quite bitter. The body is heavy enough to hold up to all the flavor, with a good amount of carbonation for a stout.
