Imperial stout brewed at the lake house, while simultaneously watching the Redskins season opener.  It was the debut of RG3, in which he exceeded everyone's (soaring) expectations of him.  I should call it "RG3 RIS," but since there is no label and there's no way I'm fitting that on a bottle cap, doesn't much matter.

RG3 RIS:

12 lbs. dark LME
1 lbs crystal 120
1/2 lb chocolate malt
1/2 lb black malt
1/2 lb brown sugar

1 oz. Summit hops (approx 15%) @ 60 minutes

made a pint starter of some US-4 dry yeast

Cheers to a good season for the 'Skins - hopefully we'll put a few of these beers away while watching the games.
