Stout - American

Big Lushious is a deep, rich stout that’s packed with flavor: roasted malts, all-natural dark chocolate, a subtle suggestion of burnt coffee grounds and a kiss of tart raspberries. At 7.8% ABV, it’s big, sumptuous and extravagant, but also balanced

We've had this in the cellar for years, hoping it would mellow. But damn, this is still SUPER sweet. Great fresh raspberry comes thru strong.

Man this was surprising after 10 years, all the racism it was marinating in kept out any changes.

So good. A lot of raspberry jam up front and through the flavor. There are light chocolate and a delicate coffee layer on the back end. It’s smooth and clean with just a hint of oxidation that really does wrap this up. Better than expected.

You know, I thought this would be terrible after accidentally being forgotten in my parents’ house after coming to us from Michigan but it aged surprisingly well and still had a wonderful raspberry flavor

This one aged quite well. Not quite as luscious as I remember, which was quite decadent… probably a good thing. Raspberry forward with ample dark chocolate and notes of bread and vanilla.

2014 version. Holds up excellent!! A bit of a light stout with strong raspberry notes and some light chocolate ones too. A bit refreshing somehow too. Definitely recommended.
