Every year we age a special batch of our much-loved Russian Imperial Stout in Bourbon barrels. The depth, intensity, and complexity of the flavor profile of this special release, like its predecessors, make it a worthy tribute to Old Rasputin.
Prior to 2010, Barrel-Aged Old Rasputin was released in such limited quantities that it was available only at the North Coast Brewing retail shop in Fort Bragg, California. However, we received so many requests for this beer that we began producing enough Barrel-Aged Old Rasputin to put into broader, but still limited, distribution.
Available in 500 ML bottles with a cork and wire finish.

Sampled at the Hopsnobbery Collective Stout tasting on 01/23/10. Tried both the XII and XI. Pours pitch black with a medium creamy beige head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Bourbon aroma with notes of chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Rich body with a consistent bourbon character and flavors of wood, malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Some ashy notes as well. The finish is malty with a bourbon and hops aftertaste that lingers. Very good all around.
