Who makes the best Russian Imperial Stout?!
Who makes the best Russian Imperial Stout?
And is there a difference between an imperial stout and a "russian" imperial stout?
Answers:
Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast Brewing Co. in California is my favorite, hands down.
imperial stout and russian imperial are the same.
Iron Hill Brewery took the gold medal in the 2006 Great American Beer Festival. And Big Rock Chop house took the gold the year before.
There's no difference in the two names.
Stone has an amazing Imperial Russian Stout. It's in a bottle with a blue silkscreened label featuring their trademark gargoyle imagery. It is truly a wonder. Seasonal, so look for it now as it will be leaving shelves as the weather warms.
