Hello, all! This recipe turned out great! It tastes almost identical to Old Rasputin... super hoppy, chocolatey, and delicious. I've got a good friend named Vasily who is very Russian and has a huge beard, so I decided to call it "Old Vasily's Russian Imperial Stout." Below is the beer label I made and the recipe!
