No 89 - North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (USA)

A stunningly deep, penetrating, powerful nose with masses of dark chocolate, sugared coffee, tar and a beautiful scent of rosemary. Very pure, very deep and very, very good, in a deeply hedonistic sense. Just gorgeous!
The taste is massive and pure with oodles of creamy dark chcocolate, tar and candied orange peels. Long, long and long! Very tight and very impressive! This is one dark beauty!
