North coast brewing co. Old Rasputin XII

Alexander: This was pretty darn good. Pretty much Old Rasputin with hints of oak and a mellow bourbon taste and smell. Not much more to say. If you like the original, you like this. Now for the price, i'm not sure i would go out of my way and buy more right away.

Deschutes Black Butte XXI


Alexander: So i picked this up at Bevmo the other week, label says best served after 10/7/10
I couldn't wait, so i got 2 of em. opened one and put the other back.

What can i say, it's an Imperial/Strong porter that has a tons of great things going on. Roasted coffee beans, chocolate, bourbon, hops, everything we love here at hopzombie. If you see it pick it up, you won't be disappointed.



The only other Imperial porter that was this good was at Barleys in Columbus with Chad on st. patrick's day that i can remember.
