Question:

What causes my otherwise great black raspberries to have little dry, brown spots on the berry?

Answer:

Probably what you're seeing is the result of wasps, hornets, stinkbugs or other bucks helping themselves to the juice inside the little drupelets. They can such out the juice in just a few of these and leave the rest of the berry intact. If it gets out of hand, consider protect your bush with fine netting.
