Commercial Description:
The Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout was brewed at Leinenkugel’s tiny 10th street brewery in Milwaukee. This brew boasts a selection of 11 malts and grains balanced by three different and distinct hops. Dark and complex, with chocolate tones and notes of dark fruits, it is daring yet delicious. Travels well. Ages well.

Bottle from CaptainCougar. Thanks again Tom. Opaque brown/black color with a tan head that died in weird ways. Dark toasted malty aroma. Full bodied with normal carbonation. Flavor is sweetish toasted malt with hints of toffee and coffee. Touch of treacle. Date fruit aspects throughout. Finishes more sweet than dry. A certain astringency occurs in the finish. Hardly a trace of heat. Delicious.

Bottle from bhensonb. This dark brown ale pouerd with a short brown head and a coffee and plum aroma. The flavor is toasted malt with lots of chocolate and coffee and a slightly sour dry finish. Very nice.

Thanks to Juelze for this big-ass brew. Crushed with Jakebra. Don’t know what Honkeybra is talking about with this brew. He’s just a Wisconsin hater. Sweet nose mostly of molasses, with some soy sauce and some chocolate roast. Flavor is a little roastier with a big, thick mouthfeel. Finish is bitter and prety nice. A pretty nice Imp Stout.

Bottle@Home. Very strong complex aroma,coffee, chocolate, black and red berries. Pours very thick, black colour, brown firm head, good lace. Very strong and complex flavours but well balanced, coffee, fruity, roasted, sweet, bitter. Sticky and burning.

Bottle. Dark brown with tan thin head. Very strong barley malt, sweet and chocolatey. Slight soy sauce notes. Flavor is potently malty and very sweet. Decent RIS, but aroma flavor has a undesirable grainy vegetative quality. Full with very dry roast character.

Bottle, gift from Daknole. Pours inky with an everpresent, pleasant tan lace. Inky! Aroma is compacted with oodles of dark, rich robust chocolate from somewhere deep in the Amazon. Holy Fucking Stout! 1. Big, long lasting flavors 2. Velvet mouthfeel. 3. Dark dark dark chocolate.
