Old Rasputin

Russian Imperial Stout
North Coast Brewing, Fort Bragg, CA
12 oz bottle, 9% abv

Pours black with a dark tan head that lasts well.

Aroma is roast malt, alcohol, and toffee.

Flavor is deep and rich with lots of dark fruit, coffee, vanilla and some higher alcohols.

Mouthfeel is moderately thick but not overly so. Finishes surprisingly dry with a strong hit of lingering bitterness.

A fine example of the style.  Really, really yummy...
