OLD RASPUTIN RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT
Contrary to the geography suggested by the name, Russian Imperial Stout was originally brewed in 18th Century England. The name evolved as the Russian Imperial Court developed an early appreciation for this big, intense brew and provided a ready and eager export market.
It's been speculated that no one had a greater appreciation for this rich, roasty elixir than Rasputin, the mystic wag (and favorite of the ladies of the court), who contributed to the ultimate downfall of Czar Nicholas II.
Rasputin is probably best remembered for his dramatic exit. Having been deemed politically expendable, he was fed poisoned wine and tea cakes by his rivals. Surviving that, he was shot several times - whereupon he attacked his assailants. He finally succumbed when bound and stuffed through a hole in the ice to drown in the River Neva. Legends that attribute his tenacity to his appetite for Russian Imperial Stout are unproven.
A rich, intense brew with a robust palate, a fruity nose and a warming finish. Very complex.

Lesson variety one: in case you are going to drink a reliable beer, make it an excellent one. do no longer waste a while with something from Milwaukee. the respond that observed the Dogfish Head became good. i'd recommend a highway holiday to Cooperstown to the Brewery Ommegang. I stay interior the San Francisco section the place we are blessed with a large sort of excellent reliable beers. i'm a hophead, so i admire Russian Rivers' Pliny the Elder, maximum any hopped beer from green Flash Brewery, Lagunitas's Maximus beer, Drake's IPA and a large many extra.

Russian imperial stout is the strongest style of stout (it's not a brand name). Look for those.
