May 26, 2005 Dark brown colour. Coffee leads the aroma with raspberry and chocolate nuances. Medium body. Smooth. Milk chocolate sweetness with light raspberry and mild background coffee. It’s only those three elements, really, but they are well-structured. However, as a dessert beer it could probably use a bit more heft.

Feb 19, 2005 Updated: Mar 3, 2005On tap at Hanover/Arundel Mills brewpub. Great aroma of sugary raspberries. Oh so good. Definate chocolate notes in this one. One of the best chocolate stouts ever. Raspberries are a unique and quite pleasant touch to this one. Amazing.

Feb 15, 2005 Updated: May 16, 2005Draft - 2005 - DuClaw, Arundel Mills - Strong nose of fresh raspberries, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Almost smelled like a chocolate covered raspberry. Coffee flavor was well hidden. Typical stout, very dark, black, hint of purple when the light hit it the right way. It was like having beer for dessert. Don’t have to be a stout lover to enjoy this beer. Hat’s off Jim.

Feb 13, 2005 From the Tap, DuClaw Berwery, Baltimore MD, As a person who hates coffee, this beer was Very Good. Because of my dislike for coffee stouts and porter tend to fall of my beer options.... but wne i saw a chocolate Raspberry beer had to try and i must say much better then i would have guessed.

Jan 21, 2004 2004 offering. Raspberries dominate the aroma and taste. Hints of chocolate were minimal; coffee left more of an impression. Typical dark stout appearance, with just a hint of burgundy at the edge. Head was small. Finished with a roasted malt flavor. Very good.

Sep 18, 2003 I really wanted to hate this beer, but I couldn't. The mix actually works. Use a decent milk stout and throw in some raspberry coffee and they have a winner. Over the top coffee tones and just a hint of raspberry floating around.

May 29, 2003 Deep, opaque chocolate brown color. Aroma is of coffy with raspberries than chocolate with raspberries, but there's definitely some chocolate character in there, too. Another float-worthy beer from DuClaw (the Fantome being the other one I've tried). There's not a lot to it, but it's a nice dessert.

Mar 16, 2003 Clear mahogany body. Aroma is predominantly raspberry, but also has some milk chocolate. Taste is raspberry up front, but light coffee moves in on the tongue to share the spotlight. Not too sweet, which is always a concern with a beer like this one.
