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 Show Less

Bottle. Very dark brown. Medium, dark tan head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, fruity. Taste is really nice. Love the coffee, chocolate, raspberry favors, the only weakness is the after taste. Weird metallic aftertaste. Kind of ruins the whole experience of a really nice beer.

Bottle, at Patricks. As Big Luscious. A black one, with a big, creamy tan head. Fluffy lacing. The aroma has a good dash of raspberry, with dark chocolate, roasted malts and some vanilla. It's smooth and full bodied, with some berry sweetness and sourness. A touch of raspberry seed bitterness too. Raspberry, dark chocolate, vanilla, some lactose hints and a touch of caramel in the flavor. Long finish. A bit too much on the sweet side this one, but lots of good things going on. 210930

Draft at the Barrelman's Cellar. The server claimed it was a KBS Chocolate Raspberry, but there ain't no such animal. Confirmed with Founders that there still may be some kegs of this in the wild. Deep chocolate black in a 5 oz. snifter. Smell of chocolate and yes, raspberry. Annnd, whoa: Just whoa! Chocolate and raspberry liqueur on the tongue! Kind of wipes out the bourbon barrel character. Almost a seedless raspberry jam texture.Certainly lighter in texture than the few KBS's I've had the pleasure or trying, which is why it seems to be this beer instead.

Draft. A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and raspberries. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, raspberries, and dark chocolate, leading to a dry finish. Like a dessert chocolate.
