Far from just another drop in the bucket, this beer is the first Imperial Dark Sour we’ve ever dropped, and it’s positively dripping with jammy realness. While not entirely improvisational, a lot of “yes, and”-ing happened round the brewery during the making of this one.

It’s got loads of raspberries, and it’s not shy about it either. Why, their presence is as plain as the nose on your face—which is also where you’ll first encounter it. Aroma-wise, it’s all sweet preserves, but things get a little more complex when it hits your palate with a cheeky tartness that cuts through the velvety chocolate fondue thing The Great Gig’s also got going on.

This brew appears through glass like a rich, molten chocolate jewel. The collision of dark colour and deep flavour with the bright sourness of the fruit is unexpected, but we think you’ll welcome it. Try some for yourself, any time will do.
