Libertine “Chocolate Vanilla” Framboise. We aged our Framboise on vanilla beans and cocoa nibs to put a twist on a Libertine favorite.

Thanks to Brent for sharing this one at Oneinchaway's tasting.
Pours a murky light red with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is slightly sour with diaper, vomit, blue cheese, funk, and raspberry aromas. Taste is much the same with sour vanilla, raspberry, and acidic flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable, but the mix of smells I am getting from this one are a bit gross to be honest.
Serving type: bottle.

Tasted February 7, 2015 when not even apparently 3 or 4 months old. Suffice it to say that this one very acid out of balance; thin and unpleasantly acidic.

Another great beer from this young brewery. Had this one new years day, and I must say I was very impressed. A beautiful ruby/pink color with amazing flavor. Glad I got a few bottles of this one.
