The original Donkey Venom is a rich, dark ale, with a brettiness that brings forward bright levels of acidity and surprisingly fruity flavours.
As for this batch, the time it spent in foeders, along with buckets of raspberries, works to harmonize notes of tart berry, black forest cake and toasted oak.

On tap at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours an opaque dark brown with a foamy beige head. Loads of bitter dark chocolate, fresh raspberries, and dusty old wood on the nose. Flavour has intense raspberries, dry old wood, and cacao. The raspberries integrate very well with the base, creating a good depth of flavour. Very nice.

I think this might be the third donkey venom variant I try. This one is a dark chocolate brown with wispy beige foam. It has a nice beige chocolate covered raspberry aroma. Medium to full bodied but bone dry with a raspy carbonation and prickly mouthfeel. The taste is excellent, totally chocolate covered berries. Yum, this would be fantastic with any chocolate or berry dessert.
