Martin House Kafkaesque

Took the definition of Kafkaesque seriously when created this beer. Brewers viewed it as a challenge to create a beer so complex and bizarre that it would make Franz himself proud. Started with an Imperial IPA, then transformed it into a rye IPA with a menacing portion of rye malt. Then, made it disorientingly black with some heavily roasted malts. Needed more complexity, so made it surreally smoky with cherry-wood smoked malts. Lastly, added 300 lbs of raspberries for fruitiness, and everybody knows you can’t have a complex beer without wood, so let sit on toasted American oak. Know that you will find this Imperial Smoked Black Rye Oaked Raspberry IPA to be very Kafkaesque.
