Thornbridge Imperial Raspberry Stout. We all know that drinking beer is a congenital pastime and brewing beer can be just as fraternal. This collaboration between Rob Lovatt of Thornbridge and Jessica Heidrich St. Eriks is testament to the friendship and inspiration that brewing can produce.
This Imperial Raspberry Stout pours rich and dark with aromas and tastes of liquorice and chocolate, complimented by the generous infusion of prime Scottish raspberries.

Pours pitch black with a fine cappuccino coloured head. Aroma is very very dark, the dark malts are very straightforward. Coffee is quite apparent, raspberry is more in the background but there. Some treacle and plums. Thick and oily mouthfeel, medium to heavy body. Flavour is complex, loads of dark malts, honey, treacle, raspberries, rather earthy and even some hops noticeable. Finish is rather long with some wood and smoke and also the raspberries! Great beer!

Bottle from Voldby K, shared with Niller - black pour with good sized tan head and lacing. Sweet malty with resonating chocolate and raspberry, almost desert like, rich and opulent, sweet chocolate finish.

(Bottle) Black colour with lasting, creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of raspberries, liquorice, dark chocolate and black coffee. Malty, fruity, slightly tart taste with liquorice, raspberries, dark chocolate, black rye bread, black coffee and a finish with a balanced roasty bitterness and a slight raspberry sourness. Full body, smooth and rounded mouthfeel. A slight sweetness lurking in the sourness. Very interesting and well made beer, with a generous raspberry character. Great balance, with alcohol well hidden. Very nice.

500ml bottle. Pours dark with a persistent creamy off-white head. Tantalising raspberry pips aroma. Taste is smooth and indulgent. Very desert-like with it’s rich raspberry-topped creamy chocolate character. Smooth and decadent, it really is something else.
