A Note on This Beer

The last time I treated myself to some sweets from a fancy bakery, I got raspberry creme all over my favorite pair of jeans. Lets just say, their dainty to-go box couldn’t contain the obscene amount of pastries I ordered!

Despite my previous run-in with those treacherous baked goods, I feel like a winner today. ‘Cause I discovered Energy City’s latest addition to their 4+ UT-rated Bâtisserie Imperial Pastry Stout series. It tastes just like my favorite, luxuriously rich chocolate raspberry tart — without the sticky mess!

The brewers pack Bâtisserie Chocolate Raspberry Tart Imperial Stout with loads of drippy raspberries and succulent baker’s chocolate until it swells with bold dessert flavors. Sip after decadent sip, lush surges of vivacious berries balance against waves of cocoa nibs.

Illinois sweet-tooths on Untappd and BeerAdvocate have called this brew “delicious” more times than I can count the number of pastries I ordered.

And, with a few cans of this 8% ABV delicacy, I’ll never be a messy, sticky, treat-eater ever again (or, less often, at least)!

Rated 4.27 on Untappd!

*The brew experts at PorchDrinking.com say it best: “If you’re purchasing beer somewhere and see an Energy City Brewing can available, do yourself a favor and grab it.”

You are in for a treat! This one is amazing you get the perfect balance of the Chocolate and the Raspberry. Prefect sweetness and thickness. This one is thick and personal I love my stouts, and sours like that!

I hate stouts and I actually found this drinkable. Definitely had to share with friends though it's incredibly rich.

Raspberries and chocolate come across nicely, not too heavy on either, but it is fairly sweet. Would pair well with some dessert.

Thick and rich, this beer is dangerously delicious. Like drinking chocolate syrup with fresh raspberries. I am so blown away by this. An absolutely phenomenal stout, they perfectly captured the flavor of a chocolate raspberry torte.

A little overbearing on the raspberry and a little too heavy for my liking. I have another can of this one. Think I’m gonna try it at room temp. Wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.

Strong chocolate and raspberry taste! If you like those flavors, which I do, this beer is almost like a chocolate raspberry smoothie as it is on the thicker side.

Doesn’t taste like a stout - more like a fruited sour. However still very good

Maybe it’s just not for me. Too tart or sour for me. First few sips were good, then it didn’t taste the same. It’s also a very thick drink.

So good like a raspberry truffle

Fruit stouts are tough to find that balance in flavor & this one does a pretty good job finding that middle ground. The sweetness masks some issues but still solid

It tastes like drinking raspberry syrup with beer. I have never thrown out a beer before. However I just couldnt drink this one.

Thick, chewy unique beer. Never had a tart stout! Tart raspberry and chocolate flavors with mild graham cracker notes.

Yum! Wish we had ordered more! Subdued aromas of chocolate & berries on the nose. The palette explodes with dense, sweet, rich malts, dark cacao, true raspberry flavors & mouthwatering acidity. This beer is thick, chocolatey & satisfy ing with a handful of fresh, ripe raspberries shining through!!!

Unfortunately this beer immediately destroyed my taste buds. The flavors of chocolate and raspberry are so over powering that I wouldn't even consider this a beer. Also the thickness of this beer is hideous almost syrupy.

Thick and rich. Great first sip with a tasty chocolate start and refreshing raspberry finish. Only con is that the thickness sits a little heavy by the end, but certainly not a major negative

What an end to the Halloween weekend! A a true dessert beer in every way imaginable. I would drink this as a dessert, if it wasn’t an amazing brew. From nose, to flavor, to mouthfeel, to finish- completely delivered on all fronts. So chocolaty, with a perfect tart raspberry kick!

Incredible dessert beer! The flavor of chocolate and raspberry is immense and drinking it makes you forget it is 8.0% ABV. However, it is very thick and is the only beer I’ve had that made me feel bloated after just one. Either way, amazing beer and I highly recommend!
