One for Ukraine! This is typical of being in a warzone: first, you think of security, then you just don't care. The air raid alerts don't bother the locals much. Or at all. And I'm sitting in a taproom, not knowing when the first alert is on. This is a raspberry imperial stout. Sounds like a treat. So why not? No not, it's yes. Looks exceptionally fizzy. Deep dark brown. A silky fawn head of two fingers emerges on the top and caps the beer's precious aromas underneath for long. Raspberry chocolate, cacao nibs and a suggestion of cold-brew coffee are the key players in this brigade. Biscuit and waffle support in the basement. The tongue enjoys raspberry chocolate – a good load actually – cacao nibs, cappuccino, a bit of cream, blackberry and a whisper of dried cranberry. A biscuity baseline should be recognized as a supportive frontline here. First, I don't get any coffeeish hint but later it starts making itself heard. All in all, seductive. The body is full. Not enormous but full anyway. The finish offers raspberry, chocolate and cacao. And remote coffee. Good up to the end. Feels full, desserty, deep, somewhat fluid and soft. Glues lips, no matter what. Show must go on!  🇺🇦👍🏻
