Draft goblet. Okay, I call this stout instead of "fruit beer" to differentiate between beer aged on fruit from beer fermented with fruit. Are you with me? Good.
Heady chocolate raspberry smell from the goblet as I’m taking my notes. Poured black with a ring of brownish foam on the edge. The oatmeal stout is apparent in a very smooth beer taste. Raspberry is very complementary, not overdone. Bourbon and the described oak and vanilla come up, too. Any advertised chocolate would be coming from the malt roast, but that’s been very well mellowed by barreling and the oatmeal. Very smooth, like a light raspberry liqueur, silky bubbles. Yeah, I’m probably rating it too high for its own good, but let’s open the floor on this beer to discussion, starting… now!
