Stout brewed with Chocolate and Raspberries

A rich and robust stout serves as the foundation for this decadent dessert beer. Raspberries lend a tart and refreshing sweetness while the addition of dark chocolate takes it to an indulgent level. Big, yet balanced, Big Luscious is perfect for sharing with friends and family. Or you can keep it all to yourself. We won’t tell.

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.

Flavour is raspberry with some roast, mild liquorice, some milky notes as well as some toffee and mild cocoa and chocolate.Beautifully balanced and a couple of years has really made this one smooth.

Bottle, as Big Luscious. Black color with dark beige head. Aroma is super overripe raspberry, black chocolate, nice combo, but very perfumed. Taste is very sweet raspberries, chocolate, really sweet, but it can take it. Chewy, solid.

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
