Billy A. is drinking a Raspberry Monolith by Burning Sky Brewery at BEER + BURGER WILLESDEN February 19, 2020

Black Forest gateaux on the nose, but with raspberry jam on top of the cherries. Palate is surpassingly light – the berries are sour and all around, and the chocolate has gone funky. Funk follows into the finish.
