Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Imperial Russian Stout

[bmony]

It was released November 1st but a couple weeks ago when I was down in Chicago Binny's was selling this so I picked up a 4 pack. It's around $10.99 a four pack and it's brewed with 11 different malts and 3 different hops. The ABV is 9.5%.

It's real dark and heavy and I drank mine from a snifter. It had had a very thin head on top that was chocolate brown. I really liked it but it's definitely a beer you would drink one or two of. It was last made in 2007.

I am going to pick up a couple more 4 packs tonight as it's a limited release along with a couple six packs of Samuel Adam's Cranberry Lambic. I'm not a fan of fruit beers but I really like the lambic style of beer.

bmony, when you were in Chicago, do you remember seeing if they had any of the Goose Island Bourbon County Stout yet?

No I didn't see any. I was at the Binny's Beverage Depot right by Goose Island brew pub. I see that Goose Island is releasing 750 ml bottles of Bourbon County Vanilla, Bourbon County Cherry, and Bourbon County aged so I was looking for those. I was surprised they didn't have any four packs of the regular Bourbon County there.

I did get my fix later that night as I ate at Goose Island Brew Pub. Great food and greate beer!

It's supposed to be out November 1st but have yet to find it at any local liquor stores. It's a bit pricey but I paid $64 for a case of Bourbon Barrel 2 years ago from a local brewery. I thought it was worth it, lol.
