COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

galinmcmahon (5) - Portland, Or, USA - DEC 27, 2021 does not count
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2021 Far too sweet for my taste. Some people may like that but for me, a beer should be much more earthy. I can't get through a full serving of this.

After.dawn (61) - Suwon, SOUTH KOREA - NOV 15, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 15, 2021 잔에 따르면 붉은 빛이 도는 흑진주 외관에 진흙색의 부드러운 헤드가 몽글몽글 쌓이네요. 코를 가져다대면 카라멜향과 다크초콜렛에 은은한 나무향을 즉시 느낄 수 있습니다. 점점 익숙해지면 독한 뱀술을 마주한 느낌으로 바뀌는데 개인적으론 달달한 밀크 스타일을 좋아하기에 썩 즐거운 편은 아니지만 고급 느낌이 폴폴 나는 향입니다. 물론 이부분은 임스 덕후분들에게 참 좋은 아로마지요. 한모금 마시면 에스프레소 원액을 마시듯 쓴맛과 은은한 초콜렛 그리고 감초의 달콤한 풍미로 기분이 좋습니다. 다만 계속해서 초콜렛향이라곤 했지만 포터가 아닌만큼, 아주 달달한 맛은 아니지만요. 더불어 조밀하고 농밀한 풍미로 가득한 풀바디의 술으로 속이 뜨끈해집니다. 물론 보드카같은 증류주에 비하면 턱없이 모자르는 도수지만 평소 마시는 5% 맥주에 비하면 거의 2배에 가까우니까요. 또한 못만든 임페리얼 스타우트들은 7도만 되도 맛탱이가 없는데 요건 괜히 '죽기전에 마셔봐야할'이 아닌 듯 9도에 IBU 쓴맛도 75나 되는데 그렇게 느껴지는 맛도 아니라 마시는데 부담도 없는 편. 어릴적 할아버지집에 가면 방 구석구석 놓여진 홍삼캔디의 향 같기도 하지요. 라스푸틴의 정력이 느껴지는 맛입니다. 엥? 그게 무슨 말인고 하니 우리는 이쯤에서 라스푸틴이 누군지 알아야하겠네요. 맥주의 이름이자 라벨에 그려진 인물인 라스푸틴은 이름에서 느껴지듯 러시아 사람인데 미친 수도승이라 불리며 제정 러시아 몰락에 막대한 영향을 끼친 인물로 평가받고 있습니다. 사실 그보다는 우리에겐 이 프로필이 좀 더 익숙한데 각종 위키 등 백과에 보면 프로필에 193cm / 85kg / 30cm 라고 되어있지요. 30cm가 무엇이냐면 제3의 다리 말입니다. 여기다 사진을 업로드하기 좀 그렇고 궁금하신 분들은 Grigori Rasputin penis라고 구글에 검색해보면 잘 나오니 구경 한 번 하시길.. 30cm나되는 대물과 매혹적인 얼굴로 어릴적엔 방탕한 생활을 즐기다 가정을 이루고, 29살이 되었을땐 무슨 바람이 들었는지 스스로 수도승이라 칭하며 세계의 신학 랜드마크를 찾아다니는 순례자가 되었는데 어느날 당시 러시아 황제인 니콜라이 2세의 4녀1남 중 왕위를 이을 막내 황태자 알렉세이의 혈우병을 호전 시킨걸로 황후의 신임을 얻어 국정을 쥐락펴락했다고 하죠. 알렉산드라 황후가 라스푸틴의 성노리개였다는 얘기도 있을 지경이니 얼마나 왕권이 추락한 상황인지 짐작할 수 있는데 그 상황을 떠올리며 올드 라스푸틴을 마시면 더욱 맛있습니다. 그럼 오늘도 불취무귀하소서.

GoddamnNoise (722) - Pontevedra, SPAIN - NOV 7, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 7, 2021 1 pint can @ home, served in a teku glass, canned at: 2021/12/01, best before: unknown. Aroma: medium intensity aromas of roasted malts, roasted coffee, black coffee, black chocolate, cocoa. Appearance: very dark brown color, almost black, with light brown color head made of small bubbles, some of them grow over time to become medium and big sized ones. High head thickness, extremely high retention, high Brussels' lacing, too dark to talk about haziness. Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitterness, no sourness. Flavors of black chocolate, black coffee, cocoa, roasted coffee, roasted malts. Very well balanced, the bitterness is the perfect counterpart for the malts' sweetness. Mouthfeel: medium to full body, oily to creamy texture, low carbonation, very long dry finish with low bitterness and the aforementioned flavors where the cocoa, black chocolate and black coffee flavors really shine. Alcohol is very well hidden, not noticeable in the aroma or flavor and only noticeable because of its quite strong mouth and throat warming. Astringency is not noticeable. Hop burn is not noticeable. Acidity from the roasted black malts is quite noticeable. Overall: powerful aromas and flavors of black chocolate, black coffee, cocoa, roasted coffee, roasted malts. Very well brewed, very tasty and enjoyable. It would be better with a bit less of ABV and less acidity from the black malts. A perfect sipper for winter cold nights.

tntracey (322) - Hood River, Oregon, USA - OCT 14, 2021
UPDATED: OCT 14, 2021 16 oz can poured into a tulip glass. Gift from a friend. Thanks friend. A terrific brew to sample on a dark, damp cloudy Portland evening. Winter draws near and it's time for stouts and porters.

Arbitrage411 (73) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 13, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 13, 2021 Silent syrupy chocolate pour under abundant 2 finger beige head. Creamy compact bubbles, with rich form and sticky lacework. Roasted malt on the nose, dark fruits. Dark chocolate, toffee taste as in a fine cake pastry. Head lovingly remains as top coat. Tickling on the tongue of flavors and sensations. Evenly balanced finish, sweet combined as the warming ABV develops.

Cool_Bond (5099) - KUNG_AV_OL @ Instagram, SWEDEN - AUG 2, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 2, 2021 Vintage 2005... Aroma and taste of coffee, chocolate, dark ground licorice and sweetness. Good bitterness that fills the whole mouth for an eternity. Really good beer. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.

Miły (749) - Kielce, POLAND - MAY 25, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 25, 2021 Wygląd: Barwa czarna, nieprzejrzysta. Piana jasnobrązowa, średniej wysokości, głównie drobnopęcherzykowa, po krótkiej chwili opada do sporego pierścienia, pozostawia lekki lacing. Aromat: Po wytrawnej stronie. Na średnim poziomie dobrej jakości kawa, czekolada gorzka i deserowa oraz kakao, wsparte pumperniklem, ciemnym ciastem i biszkoptem. W tle lekkie wiśnie oraz spinające całość nuty szlachetnego alkoholu. Smak: Nieśmiało na pierwszy plan wysuwają się nuty palone, kawa, gorzka czekolada na średnim poziomie. Tuż za nimi czekolada deserowa, kakao, pumpernikiel i przypieczony spód od ciasta. Trochę więcej wiśni z delikatną śliwką oraz szlachetnego alkoholu na niskim poziomie. W ustach wytrawne, treściwość niska, wysycenie średnioniskie - uwypuklające brak ciała. Goryczka niska, gorzkiej czekolady i akcentu alkoholowego, długa, przyjemnie narastająca i pojawiająca się po chwili w posmaku. Finisz wytrawny, kawy, espresso, gorzkiej czekolady i nutki alkoholu. Ogólnie: Zdecydowanie wytrawne, średnio intensywne, choć wszystko dobrze wyczuwalne. Jak na RISa pije się lekko i szybko znika ze szkła. Przyjemny, długi palony finisz. Pomimo całego wytrawnego 'angielskiego' zamysłu, to brakuje trochę ciała i większej ilości owców - suszonej śliwki, wiśni.

Kaseykokgobbler (5) - - MAR 21, 2021 does not count
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2021 Upon bringing this beauty home, I cracked it open and sniffed the heavy aroma; not unlike one would do with the real Rasputin. The first sip was surprising, almost invigorating, this slick black stout slid down my throat and transported me to the Motherland. I could hear my heart beat beating to the sound of Rasputins thrusting pelvis. I quickly handed the beer to my 3rd and final wife, her first sip left her nipples perked. AND I MEAN PERKED. My jealousy snapped me back to reality where I took my beer to my bathroom and drank the rest, dreaming of returning home.

Fin (15185) - Attenkirchen, Bavaria, GERMANY - MAR 18, 2021
UPDATED: MAR 18, 2021 Bottle picked up from Biervana, Munich and consumed at home, Thursday 18th March 2021 taking part in Beer School with Natalya Watson. We had a rather ordinary Creamy Maccheroni with Pork and Peas for tea. Pours black, oily, sticky, black treacle, bitter, roasty, real lingering roasty bitterness, this is great, no adjuncts but bitter coffee does make you think that this is added, bitter cocoa. Lovely beer.
