A powerhouse imperial fruit sour. the nose is pungent, featuring sour fruitiness, some acidity, berries and brown sugar. Deep mahogany body. Punchy tart and sour raspberries blend nicely with chocolate, cherries and a solid touch of caramel malt. The body is dense and smooth. Rich and well balanced.
