FROM THE LABEL: "Brewed in the tradition of the 18th century Emglish Brewers who supplied the Russian court of Catherine the Great. Old Rasputin develops a cult following wherever it goes. It's a rich, intense brew with bog complex flavors and a warming finish."

FROM THE MOUTH: Stout: Wish my hair was the color of this beer; it's gorgeous! This is more a dry hop, than a sweet hop so it is associated more with Dublin or Cork- although they are saying Russian. This is a heavy tasting beer, complex with a kick at the end---bitters all the way down to that warm place in your tummy. A

FROM THE GRILL: I think I am full already, but perhaps some dark bread and cheese would keep me walking straight.

FROM THE STORE: Huckleberries
