A sour brown ale brewed with fresh picked raspberries. Flavors of dark chocolate make way for a sweet, tart finish.
Brewed in honour of our first beer, the classic the classic nut brown ale. The raspberries are a nod to our founder's glory days experimenting with fermentation while growing up on a raspberry farm in the Fraser Valley.

On tap at the brewery. Black body and modest offwhite foam. Huge raspberry on the nose that comes across like fruit liqueur. Flavour is big plum with weak raspberry notes, creating a dark liqueur atmosphere. Medium palate leaning toward watery. Heavy indeed but unbalanced sadly.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver
Dark brown color. Decent beer, moderate acidity, dusty dark malts, raspberries, but I don't believe in the concept of dark beer and berries.

650ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a very dark brown wiyh a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with leather notes. Similar taste with raspberries notes. Harsh and not elegant, though. Meh.

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma is a weird mix of nuttiness, raspberry and husky malts. There's some raspberry on the palate up front, toasty and bitterness. The malts are sweeter on the palate, less huskiness. It's okay, but I would say it doesn't come together all that well.
