Description: Kafkaesque is defined thusly: Marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity. Marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger. We took the definition of Kafkaesque seriously when we created this beer. Our brewers viewed it as a challenge to create a beer so complex and bizarre that it would make Franz himself proud. We started with an Imperial IPA, then we transformed it into a rye IPA with a menacing portion of rye malt. Then, we made it disorientingly black with some heavily roasted malts. We needed more complexity, so we made it surreally smoky with cherry-wood smoked malts. Lastly, we added 300 lbs of raspberries for fruitiness, and everybody knows you can’t have a complex beer without wood, so we let sit on toasted American oak. We know that you will find this Imperial Smoked Black Rye Oaked Raspberry IPA to be very Kafkaesque.
