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.

Another cellar clean-out: Big frothy, light tan head over a black body. Nose brings in strong coffee roasted malt. Plus some wheat malt? And some alcohol. Taste actually has more coffee and bitterness. Seeing my other batch reviews, I didn't mention coffee. Roastiness is kind of much for the beer, but I've been focused on smoothed out barrel-aged stouts.
