Brewery Hometown: Mendocino, California
Appearance: Kev: Is this guy fucking hunting whales?! (Looking at the box) It is an elixir, does that mean I get health and Mana back?! Ok so despite Kevin’s nerd out, it’s a dark dark porter with a good head. Dan C: “look at this head! it holds its shape!” (He poured his pretty shitty…) Holding it to the light, NOTHING is getting throught it. Everyone’s pretty amazed by the “Good head”, it just lasts
sooooooo long (fitting because this beer came from a liquor store next to a hair cut place simply named “Best Head”).
Aroma: “I think if it smells like anything, it smells like… something…” Thanks Kev…but its got a sweet malty scent that I think has a subtle burboun smell (we can’t decide which hard liquor it ultimately smells like though). Dan C. is convinced that it smells like a car bomb (he convinced adam too). Actually they can’t decide who convinced who and now they’re in a fight.
[Click on the bottle to closely view Rasputin]
Taste: Dan C. says that the picture of crazy old rasputin on the bottle depicts the taste perfectly. Apparently that is all he has to say about rasputin and this beer, so for people who don’t know – he was poisoned, shot, then attacked his assassins, then bound and tossed into a frozen river… “and who says we can’t be interlectrical people?!” (KFAZ as usual). It has a malty lingering flavor and at 9% the alcohol is hidden very well. Kind of smokey aftertaste. Little bitterness to it, just a lingering stout flavor at the end. Apparently no one wants to keep drinking this beer at the point of reviewing it because it just doesn’t make sense to us…
Alcohol: 9%
Drink one or all?: Keep it at 1 kids
Cost: $9, 4pack
Overall:
Brian: 12/20 If I knew what I was tasting other than Lake Erie I might like it better
Dan C: 11/20 After 15 minutes the glass is still half full. (Clearly an optimist, what a bitch)
Adam: 13/20 He thinks it’s better than the last beer, but just doesn’t care about this one…
Kev: ??? Kev’s to busy swirling it around to give us a number… it’s better than the last one and I gave it a 14 and that just seems wrong now… he has too much respect for Rasputin to rate him badly. He would drink it while killing zombies!
I’d rather drink this beer than die!
I’d rather drink this beer than be Rasputin!
Cock beer. Whats that cock? Beer?

KFAZ yelled this on Feb 26 09 at 10:16 pmIt wasn’t bad..we just weren’t really in the mood for it/reviewing it. I liked it more then the first one we had, just kinda blah after having two dark smokey beers.
KFAZ yelled this on Mar 03 09 at 8:15 pmAgain this one like the last porter is supposed to be one of the best. I think i might have to try this one again for sure when im in a different mood.
Tom yelled this on May 10 10 at 11:23 pmWow. I’m surprised by the grade. Old Raspy was not a crowd pleaser?
SPEAK
