Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, from the lovely people at the North Coast Brewing Company out in Cali. 9% Abv, very strong and very smooth. This is a Stout with all the coffee and chocolate flavors you expect from a stout... with a shitload more alcohol. Ok, maybe I exaggerate but this is a strong brew, maybe thats why they only come in 4 packs.
Very balanced, very smooth, you can taste the higher abv but it doesn't deter from enjoying this fine example of an Imperial Stout. Great head, beautiful lacing, everthing a stout should be and more. A great beer to have as dessert or before bed.

My apologies for the crappy phone picture, this was taken when I started the pack and is the only surviving picture of Old Raspy. Still, its very fitting with the 440rd spam-can of com-block 7.62x54r ammo in the background...
The glass is definately 1/2 Full, almost 3/4. Cheers!
