Day 92-Beer 92 Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, North Coast Brewing Co. Fort Bragg CA

Think great marinades, half for the marinade half for the cook, this beer poured almost black with great creamy milk chocolate colour head that lasted a long time and left great lacing and lots of sticky leggs on the glass. At 9% ABV it has some kick and the aroma and flavour to match. The aroma was made up of dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt with citrus hops. The flavour was sweet rosted malts, dark chocolate and dark roast coffee with just a hint of hop bitterness. The mouthful was thick and creamy, very well balanced. 4.1 out of 5.
