Rasputin has had a few names in the past including 'Cease & Desist' and 'Disputin'. The latter only in America due to a trademark dispute over the name 'Rasputin' with California's North Coast Brewing, who brew a beer called 'Old Rasputin'. The beer's name comes from the the mystic/prophet Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916), a mysterious character who was advisor to the Romanov court in Russia. He is thought to have exerted influence over tsar Nicholas II and tsarina Alexandra. He may even have had a hand in convincing them to try their first Imperial Stout! This one is brewed by de Molen as a limited edition once or twice a year.
