Produced in the tradition of 18th Century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia’s Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following wherever it goes. It’s a rich, intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish.

Bottle bought at Systembolaget in 2009. Black with a small head. Sweetish with chocolate, some coffee, light dark fruit and hints of soy sauce. An old bottle but still a rather nice beer. Next time I will drink a fresh one.

Opaque deep brown to black, two finger tall beige head. Aroma: roasted barley, chocolate, coffee, prune, other dried fruit, light salt and smokiness. Full body. Taste: powerful, roasted. Moderately sweet. Chocolate and coffee, light fruitiness, hop. Medium bitterness. Citrussy hop. Everything in its right place. This is worth of its classic status. Excellent.

Pours black with a thick brown head. Aroma of creamy chocolate and deep coffee notes. Taste is lighter than expected with intense dark malt notes, intense nutty flavor. Palate fades to lingering cocoa on the tongue and nose, slight alcohol. Good.
