Year of New Beer: Big Lushious, Founders Brewing (MI)

Written By: Dion on 11/29/2014

Notes of tart raspberry peek from behind a layer of bold, sweet chocolate on the nose. On the tongue, the raspberries take center stage, striking a nearly perfect balance with the richness of the chocolate. Lesser flavors of coffee and charred malt linger in the background. Not as full-bodied as many imperial stouts, but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing, given the complexity of the flavors presented. Being thicker or richer would have hampered the drinkability. Really nice.
