Branch & Bone Artisan Ales

Pours a deep berry red with tinges of blue. No head on this one, but plenty of floating bits. It sure looks like a smoothie. It also smells berry tart. Definitely a bit of vanilla and graham cracker in there with the raspberries. Also lactose for the cheesecake effect. It tastes tart with the obvious berry flavor dominating. The vanilla comes through in the aftertaste. There's some graham cracker to round it out. Not sure how cheesecake it is, so it's going to be hard for me to rate.

Okay, actually, it's getting more noticeably cheesecakey as it goes. I stopped, ate something, had another sip, and it hit me over the head. It is quite accurate to the billing and serves to cut down on the tartness a bit.
