A dessert beer to the core, our Raspberry Stout is truly a feat in decadence. Loads of chocolate malt, cocoa nibs and local, late season red raspberries from Agriberry Farm all contribute to what would best be described as a raspberry truffle in liquid form. We then take this beer on another journey through months of maturation in freshly emptied bourbon barrels and finish it on Madagascar Vanilla Beans. The resulting flavor is a smooth, rich dark chocolate, ripe red raspberry and delicate notes of vanilla and bourbon.

Sampled from the tap at Smoke and Barrel. Pours black with a rich chocolate brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of raspberry with dark grains, some vanilla and roasted malts supporting. Flavor has a nice raspberry note up front that is supported by bitter chocolate, roasted malts and light vanilla.
