North Coast Brewing Company Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout – Beer Review

Found: Bottles
Brewery: North Coast Brewing Company (Fort Bragg, CA)
Beer Name: Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
ABV%:  9%
Price: $2.49 for 12 oz

Pour produces three fingers of dark tan foam consisting of medium and coarse bubbles.  As the head fades it leaves a semi-fine lacing on the glass.  Finishing off the bottle, the brew pours like oil through the thick tan head.  There is a very strong dark roasted coffee aroma.  Flavor gives more of the same with a hint of sweetness from the malt.  There is a big body with a mild bitterness that sits at the top of the mouth.  I kind of feel like a dog that was given peanut butter.  Overall I found this to be a fantastic stout!
