Berkshire Raspberry Strong Ale

Thanks ucusty for sharing. Pours a bright orange gold with a one finger head. The nose is raspberry predominant, candy, sweet, sharp alcohol. Flavor is raspberry, fake, sweet candy, astringent, mild grain. Palate is astringent and alcohol.

Bottle sent from Cletus. I dug the other Berkshire brews I tasted, but this was not so great. Surprised it was 9%... a bit thin all around. Raspberry flavor tasted artificial and weird... like a stronger, more pronounced Pete’s Wicked Winter brew from back in the day. Not disgusting, but not at all interesting.

Thanks to durhambeer for popping open the Robitussin. Looks fairly unassuming, a reasonable enough pour for the stylistic designation. But the aroma is of acrid, spoiled berries. Weird combination of sweet sugars and rotting fruit, like spoiled Weyerbacher Riserva. Ugh.

Pours a deep golden orange. Nose is sour raspberry and fresh hops. Taste is putrid, sugary, grainy, fake candy raspberry, overly sweet, someone pass the insulin.

22oz bottle. Pours a medium caramel color with a small beige head, light lacing. Some medicinal raspberry with faint hops and grain. Flavor was mostly grainy raspberry, pretty much a drain pour for me.

great aroma but light and weak, hardly in the barley wine territory. Bottle from a tasting at the house of chris Montelius

Amber pour. Loads of raspberries and some malt. Flavor is like raspberry candy with a slightest hop twinge at the end.

Pours a beige, lacing head and an amber-copper body. Smells of raspberry and malt. Flavor is malt, caramel, and raspberry. This brew makes me think of cough syrup and band-aids.
