[2019 Description] A true standout in our roster, this multiple award-winning stunner is a cult-fave. Boasting rich aromas of dark brewed coffee, vanilla, and gooey chocolate brownie, lengthy aging in a variety of different barrels has created six unique standouts, each with a luxurious wood-aged character. A long finish with a gentle warmth from the high alcohol, make Ra Ra Rasputin utterly unforgettable.

[2020 Description] Our 2020 vintage offers all the classic hallmarks, with rich notes of dark chocolate truffles, fresh roasted coffee, and vanilla bean. A complex wood character from the long aging in Tawny Port barrels marries with a subtle hint of sweetness.

Bottle at Black Christmas March 2022, vintage 2020
A bit dusty smell, roasted malts highlighted by the barrel. Lighter flavour than the Rye Whiskey and Glenora tasted just before, dusty malts, some roastiness. Simplistic.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size dark foamy head with light retention and some minor lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some chocolate notes with some port wine notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt notes with some chocolate notes and vinous notes with light acidic touch. Body is below average for style with good carbonation with light warming alcohol notes. Flavors are slightly off with too much acidic notes.
