Jester King Black Atrial Stout

Stout - Russian Imperial | 7% ABV

Commercial Description:

We are pleased to introduce Jester King Black Atrial! Black Atrial is Original Black Metal Imperial Stout refermented with six pounds per gallon of raspberries!

To make Black Atrial, we brewed a batch of Original Black Metal Imperial Stout. After primary fermentation with English ale yeast in a stainless steel tank, we added six pounds per gallon of raspberries. We sourced the raspberries from the same farm in Washington that grows our raspberries for Atrial Rubicite. We then let the raspberries re-ferment with the beer to dryness.

The base beer started off around 10% ABV and decreased to 7.0% during fruit refermentation. Raspberries typically have a sugar content around 12 Brix (1.048). Black Atrial was packaged in June.
