Sour Ale 7 º

Vault City Brewing

Vault City Brewing’s Raspberry Roulade is a luxurious Wild Specialty Beer that transforms the classic dessert into a vibrant sensory journey. Bright, jammy pulses of fresh raspberries dominate the profile, elegantly balanced by a smooth, lactic acidity characteristic of the brewery’s modern sour style. The addition of sweet milky chocolate creates a rich, decadent layer that mirrors a confectionery swirl, while the underlying grain bill provides a soft, doughy foundation. This 7% ABV sour strikes a sophisticated harmony between fruit-forward tartness and chocolatey indulgence, delivering a velvety, cream-like texture that lingers with a clean, fruity, and remarkably dessert-like finish.

Appearance. Opaque, deep ruby to magenta hue (SRM 25-30) with a thick, pink-tinted foam head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; immediate aroma of sun-ripened raspberries and jammy esters. Secondary notes of sweet milk chocolate, cocoa butter, and a soft, creamy vanilla sweetness with a clean, lactic tartness.

Taste. Initial burst of tart raspberry acidity, quickly rounded by a rich mid-palate of sweet milk chocolate and heavy cream. Malt provides a neutral, bready base. Bitterness is negligible. The finish is long and indulgent, balancing lingering fruit sugars with a refreshing, crisp acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a velvety, syrupy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a light lift to the richness. Low alcohol warmth is well-integrated and smooth.
