Some flavour combinations are timeless, like tangy raspberries and decadent dark chocolate. There’s an instant spark.
We’ve paired the two with a layered malt bill of Pale and Biscuit malts, Crystal DRC and roasted Caraffa Special III, plus Chocolate Wheat & Oats, for a rich, full-bodied imperial stout you’ll fall head over heels for.

Draught @ Dead Crafty, Liverpool. Pours black, deep bubbly tan head. Very well integrated raspberry and full bodied chocolate.. more raspberry was expected, so marked down for this, but otherwise very enjoyable.

330ml can. Pours jet black with a thin head. Aroma is dark chocolate and raspberry seeds. Taste has dark chocolate throughout with some sweet raspberry on the finish. Not as sweet as a lot of pastry stouts.
