    North Coast Brewing Co. -- Barrel-Aged Old Rasputin XXVII
    Barrel-aged imperial stout
    ABV: 12%; pouring temperature: 50.2 ℉; bottling info: 21271223124 (I'm guessing hhmmmddyy format)
    Source: local purchase (Coaltrain Fine Wine, Craft Beer & Spirits)
    Auxiliary vices: Maestranza -- Toro; Wild Turkey -- Kentucky Spirit

    [​IMG]

    4.4/5 rDev +1.9%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

    Great looks for a high ABV and barrel-aged beer; deep, dark mahogany brown, opaque in the glass; thin yet lasting head, dense and creamy textured. Rich caramel and toffee scents; milk chocolate; quiet roasted grain background. Full-flavored and balanced; milk chocolate; suggestion of vanilla; bold yet even-keeled whiskey undercurrent. Heavy body; smooth and silky; outstanding boozy warmth, prominent yet not overpowering.

    I love a bold yet balanced barrel aged imperial stout. North Coast certainly has done this with this beer. For a high ABV beer, besides good looks, the smell, taste and mouthfeel also are on top of their game. This is truly a fine, fine beer.

    ..............................

    Holy cheese it is severely windy. Howling and roaring quite audible from inside my palapa.
    I like this brew so let's get shakin' for beer № 2.
    Allagash Ski House Winter White Ale.
    It gives a hearty nod to some Belgian style, but it has an American angle as well. :beers::beers:

    ...as I keep reminding Mrs. BeerGoot (somewhat paraphrasing here): it's not the size of the numbers that count, it's how you use 'em :sunglasses:...

    Braupakt. Somewhat two weeks past best before date, taste is still great.
    Sorry @Shanex I did not have the chance to bring this to you. I knew chance would be small for me to get to Paris, but worst could happen was having it myself :slight_smile:
    To your health my friend and cheers all !

    No worries, those two iconic breweries spawned this and to my knowledge never made it here. Honestly though I didn’t actively seek it out either… I’ll pass on it. Cheers!
