In an Instagram post dated June 5, DevilCraft Tokyo Brewery highlighted I.M.P Raspberry Truffle, an imperial porter brewed with raspberry puree, cacao nibs, and vanilla. The brewery also noted that it would be open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. that day.
Hop BroToday's headline is DevilCraft on tap! At DevilCraft Tokyo Brewery in Shinagawa, the imperial porter I.M.P Raspberry Truffle just got tapped.
MugiWhat! That name sounds intense! Is I.M.P Raspberry Truffle sweet, bitter, or both?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Imperial porter means a dark, roasty base, but they fermented it with raspberry puree, so you get fruit character too.
MugiWait, fermented with raspberries? What does that even mean? Are the berries doing laps in the tank?
Hop BroHonestly, close enough. Fruit in the fermenter means the yeast works on those sugars too, so it is not just sugary, it becomes integrated aroma and tartness.
MugiThat is wild, and then cacao nibs and vanilla for full truffle vibes? That sounds like dessert in a glass!
Hop BroHere comes one nerdy bit: the key is the conditioning step with cacao nibs and vanilla.
MugiThere it is, beer jargon! What is conditioning? Did this turn into a class?
Hop BroShort version: it is the finishing for aroma, where those cacao and vanilla notes steep into the beer. And at 8.9% ABV, it should drink big.
MugiSo roasty, fruity, and sweet all at once? That is a busy glass! And if they are open from 12 PM to 10 PM, I suddenly want to go to Shinagawa now.
Hop BroEven better, the post said someone was shocked the first time they had it, so this feels like a comeback pour. Tap updates on social media are genuinely useful.
MugiDecision made. I want that dark reward beer today. Hop bro, save the lecture for after we get a seat!
