North Coast Brewing Company Barrel-Aged Old Rasputin XXV
Russian Imperial Stout 11.2 º
This Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout presents a masterful evolution of a classic, where extensive cellar aging introduces a sophisticated layer of oak-driven complexity. The sensory profile is dominated by a profound amplification of espresso and dark chocolate notes, woven together with hints of charred wood and vanilla. A rich tapestry of dried fruit—think prunes and black currants—emerges amidst the intense roasted grain character. The integration of barrel notes softens the high bitterness, resulting in a harmonious, warming experience that highlights the brewer’s intent to elevate the foundational roast into something truly opulent and multi-dimensional.
Appearance. Opaque jet black (40+ SRM). A thick, persistent deep tan head leaves heavy lacing, while high viscosity is evident through prominent legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; rich layers of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet cocoa dominate. Secondary notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and bourbon-like warmth intermingle with dark fruit esters of fig and raisin.
Taste. Bold initial impression of dark chocolate and espresso. The mid-palate reveals complex barrel character—toasted coconut and vanilla—balancing a firm hop bitterness. Finishes with a lingering, velvety roast and a smooth, vinous warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth spreads across the palate without being harsh.
