Through a dark forest, across a rotting drawbridge, in a dusty castle, there is an altar. On this syrup-stained altar are remnants of decadent treats from days’ past – candy bars, fresh pastries, splotches of powdered sugar. All have been offered, cordially, to those who delight in the gustation of such sweet treats.

This offering we make to you is a pitch black Imperial Stout loaded to the brim with chocolate and raspberry. It has the texture of a melting ice cream sundae on a moonless night and the complexity of hedge maze made by a madman.

16 ounce can - $6.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Appearance: Slips out a very dark brown, near black body with around half an inch of dark khaki-colored foam.

Smell: Raspberry, roasted barley and unsweetened chocolate hunks with some marginal side sniffs of discarded peanut shells, clean hooch and soy sauce.

Taste: Initially, it's the tangy raspberry taste with that sometimes quasi medicinal vibe you get from its inclusion. Bitterish baking chocolate, roastiness and slight soy umami accent. Finishes fairly smooth, a bit sweetish and with some modest alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-light carbonation. Some discernible creaminess.

Overall: So-so!
