Today we added the canned raspberries to the imperial stout and decided to taste a small tasting as well. The beer finished at 10% alcohol and the sample was very very good. It has a good body and a nice roasty finish but hides the alcohol well.
We had to use the hydrometer to push the raspberries through the funnel as the raspberries would clog the neck. In between cans, the hydrometer was sitting in sample, so when we tasted the sample after we were finished we were able to get a taste of the beer with some raspberry in it. The raspberry, right now, was very understated but noticeable in the finish and very pleasant. We plan on aging the beer for 10 days on the raspberries but will taste it at 7 and 10 days to see how it is progressing to make sure we dont over do it.
