Description
Old Rasputin, crafted by North Coast Brewing in California, stands as a distinguished example of the Russian Imperial Stout style. This dark beer, with its formidable 9.0% ABV and assertive 75 IBUs, is renowned for its depth and complexity. Expect a hearty, full-bodied experience characterized by an intricate blend of roasted malt flavors, a hint of espresso, and a touch of dark chocolate. The high alcohol content contributes to a warming finish, making it a suitable companion for cooler evenings. The robust nature of Old Rasputin pairs remarkably well with hearty dishes. Consider matching it with a rich beef stew or a well-marbled steak to complement its bold flavors. For a vegetarian option, try it alongside a mushroom risotto or a sharp cheddar cheese that can stand up to its intensity. The stout's roasted notes also offer a delightful contrast to desserts like a decadent chocolate cake or a creamy tiramisu, enhancing the sweet flavors with its dark, malty undertones. Serving Old Rasputin at the optimal temperature of around 50-55°F allows its complex flavors to shine. Pour it into a snifter or tulip glass to concentrate its rich aromas and fully appreciate its robust character. With each sip, this stout delivers a remarkable balance of bitterness and malt sweetness, making it a must-try for enthusiasts of dark, powerful beers. Whether you're a seasoned stout lover or exploring the style for the first time, Old Rasputin promises an undeniably memorable experience rooted in its traditional craftsmanship.

-
Big, rich, classic stout.
-
Big one for a Tuesday night. Strong stuff, hit me harder than expected but it was good with leftover chili.
-
Bold stout, smooth enough. Heavy roast flavor but not too boozy for 9%. Would get again.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Great call on the roasty side of Old Rasputin. If you ever want something similar but lighter, try the Founders Porter next time.
