Welcome to Vault 104. Deep below the brewery, time stands still. Our oak barrels are well-hidden from the prying eyes of the outside world. This beer has been aged for 6 months in Jim Beam Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Unlike Vault 102, this was given a dose of raspberries for an extra month of fermentation. Definitely worth tasting side-by-side with Vault 102.

(tap 0,2l @ Malt Worm (Brno)) Overall: Raspberries take it all, I expected it more complex. But overall good berry-flavored stout, didn't get much bourbon barrel. Aroma: Strong raspberry, light sweet chocolate. Appearance: Opaque black. Medium, pale brown head. Taste: Medium sweet, strong raspberry, berry-sourish, chocolate, later maybe some bourbon but covered by rasperries and chocolate. Palate: Medium-full body. Berry-sourish-astringent, light warm finish.

Bottle 0.75l from our archive, a bit aged. Gusher! Lightly cloudy, dark red to black colored. AROMA- sour cherry, raspberry, roasted, sherry, bourbon, wood. FLAVOR- slightly sweet, lightly sour, quite warming, the same as aroma. Fuller bodied. Another sourish stout from Raven. Oh, guys...

0.75 l bottle that Marko brought from Prague. Shared with little Dina, Ogi and Marko at the Grand 7.a2.ting 2021. Jet black, small tan head. Roasty, blackberry, burnt and tart, leather and bourbon. Bourbon flavour, cherry, dark chocolate, cocoa, tobacco and spice. Oily texture, smooth, strong, medium body, moderate finish. Good use of barrel.

0.75l - either courtesy of FIl or from Galerie piva ooor Base Camp. I do not remember anymore. Eff it. Leathery bourbon sweetish notes in the aroma, some fermented fruit notes. Taste... definitely some coconut and assorted other bourbon barrel notes, no real raspberry taste, but there is some tart fruitiness that probably came from that. . It's okay overall, quite smooth, drinkable, pretty well hidden alcohol, just too simple and not delivering really on the promise of raspberries.
