Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by North Coast Brewing Company

Old Rasputin is brewed in the same traditional way as English brewers of 18th century who supplied the Russian court of Catherine the Great. When you first breathe in its aroma you get a strong smell of malt and hops. Its color is a very dark brown almost black beer. Its head holds together pretty nicely instead of going down like most cheap beers. When you first take drink of this brew your taste buds are hit with a rich and flavorful beer. You can taste the malt and hops every time you drink it. It has a some what strong stout after taste but it mixes well the whole experience. My only regret is not drinking this beer from a stein instead of a glass.
Overall if you don't like a stout beer skip this one but if you like a taste adventure i'd give this one a try.
