About This Beer
The original recipe consists of loads of chocolate malt, cacao nibs, and locally sourced raspberries. But the craft masters at Hardywood decided to kick things up another notch by adding vanilla beans and aging this GABF gold-medal-winning brew in bourbon barrels.
Tasting Notes
Decadent chocolate notes swirl alongside sweet and tangy raspberry for a sip that wouldn’t be out of place on a 5-star dessert cart. A subtle taste of bourbon and woodspice on the backend excellently accentuate these sweet flavors, and totally mask the boozy 11.5% ABV

Raspberry and chocolate are sweet and up front and center. Straight dark raspberry tootsie pop vibes. Bourbon is minimal. Not pastry sweet, but still the sweetness is a bit too powerful

Raspberry is front and center but it is a bit medicinal. Barrel is barely there.

is this wanting to be a sour, or a stout? not much from a barrel either. I think this beer doesn’t know what it wants to be and that’s where the flaw is.

if you take out the bourbon part, this beer is as advertised. raspberry flavor comes first followed by a truffle flavor. actually really well done, not overpowering, no bitter aftertaste. literally the liquid form of a raspberry truffle.
