Had on tap at the Amsterdam Cafe in San Fran- day after the brewer did a tasting, sorry I missed it.
This stout is very stout, with a pronounced fruit aroma and taste. I guess this comes from the Brandy barrels- would help if I went to the tasting. I noticed cherry-like esters, but the beer is called "Berry"more. Some fruit must have been involved in the process.
One of the best beers I've had from Drakes- dangerously hard to stop drinking. Seek it out, if you're local.

A - Served a dark reddish color with a finger of red-tan head atop. The head faded down fairly quickly leaving behind lots of lacing on the glass.
S - The aroma is a mix of equal parts boozy Brandy and rich roasted sweet caramel malts. There is also just a bit of apple mixed in.
T - Starts off with some Brandy and apple flavors followed by the sweet roasted caramel malts. Well balanced right off the bat. Through the middle, the caramel malts get a bit stronger and a bit of booze flavor kicks in. The finish is a nice mix of Brandy and caramel malts with just a bit of chocolate joining in.
M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Felt smooth and fairly lively on the tongue. The finish is a mix of sweet and boozy elements.
D - Very drinkable. The balance here of Imperial Stout flavors and the contributions from the Brandy barrel aging is quite good.
