We filled the whole body with raspberries for the raspberry extract. We only put in about 125ml by volume of green whole cardamom pods for the cardamom extract, of which we used about ~2/3. We ran the cardamom around 8 cycles, the raspberry around the same. It was somewhat slapshot as far as process for extraction was concerned. It came down to a slight hint of raspberry in the beer, with a fairly strong note of cardamom. So, if you are trying to replicate this do it to taste. | ||

Flavorants were created & added to the beer on. | |||
The ABV of the beer was probably affected by the extract addition. | |||

There's a wheat beer texture and hop profile, with a darkness that's partially caramel flavored, a little chocolate, and some coffee hints. The first thing you'll notice is the floral and fruity smell of the raspberries and cardamom, which goes to just cardamom once it hits the palate, that fades after a second and you can taste the dark flavors and the hops & wheat. The aftertaste is chocolatey. | There's a wheat beer texture and hop profile, with a darkness that's partially caramel flavored, a little chocolate, and some coffee hints.
