Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout
A limited edition from one of my go-to beers, Leinenkugel (yes, I do have Jake Leinenkugel's autograph). Like most imperial stouts, Big Eddy is midnight dark, with a dark brown head. The 9+ % ABV gives it a nice warmth, and there's a great balance between hops and malt. Tastes include raisins and plums and some sweet dark chocolate. Very smooth going down.There's a lot going on here and I might have to sample a third (this is my second) to get the fullness of the tastes and aromas.
