North Coast Brewing Company Westward Whiskey Barrel Aged Old Rasputin
Russian Imperial Stout 12.2 º
This barrel-aged iteration of a classic Imperial Stout showcases a sophisticated marriage between deep roasted grains and the influence of Westward Whiskey single malt barrels. After over a year of maturation, the sensory profile exudes an aromatic richness of dark chocolate and vanilla, layered over intense notes of espresso and charred oak. The palate delivers a complex interplay of bittersweet cocoa, black licorice, and robust whiskey-soaked malt, balanced by a firm hop bitterness. Despite its high strength, the finish is remarkably elegant, offering a lingering roasty warmth and a velvety texture that emphasizes the spirit’s refined character and the beer's legendary malt depth.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan head that shows moderate retention. High viscosity is evident through thick legs coating the glass upon swirling.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich roasted malt scents of dark chocolate, cocoa, and espresso. Significant whiskey-derived aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, and single malt spirit. Sublayer of dark dried fruits including raisins and figs with no perceptible hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression of intense bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee. The mid-palate reveals the Westward Whiskey influence with smooth single malt whiskey notes and vanilla bean. Firm bitterness provides balance against the rich malt backbone. The finish is long, roasty, and dry with a balanced, spirit-driven warmth that avoids being harsh.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a velvety, luscious, and chewy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant, integrated glow without any solvent-like heat.
