Vintage ale: wild imperial stout with red raspberries
7 Seas Brewing - Tacoma Taproom & Brewery

Initially fermented with conventional brewers yeast, known as saccharomyces, this earthy and tart Imperial Stout underwent an extensive 20-month secondary conditioning phase on a Brettanomyces yeast culture. Six months before bottling, we added an abundance of locally grown red raspberries contributing a layer of fruit complexity. A mix of tart raspberry and dark cherry like aromas mingle with Brett induced mustiness in the nose. Faint hints of cocoa, raisin, and raspberry fruit leather lead to a tart and dry finish.
