When it comes to Russian imperial stouts I find it difficult to enjoy a variety of them. Everyone I have I compare to Old Rasputin which is my favorite. There are only two others I consider worth buying, Rogue's XS RIS and Alaskan Brewery's Perseverance Ale (excellant beer by the way).
When I try any other style I can judge it based on its own individual merits, but not RIS. I can drink an IPA and like it even though it isn't my favorite IPA.
What RIS do you feel rank up near the top?
