Draft - 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.

This beer is made with coffe from California. It’s a Chocolate Raspberry coffee which they get in specifically for this beer. Upon visiting the brewery I sampled the coffee and it really lends a great impression to the beer. It starts off a bit dry and pours with a great amount of head. The stout doesn’t have a lot of aroma per say but combining a roast character and the coffee make for a terriffic beer. I can easily drink a growler of this in a sitting and go back for more.

Draft @ Bel Air location May 2008. Very flavorful and unique. Strong dose of of raspberry and coffee plus bitter, roasted malt notes underneath. Nitro pour is velvety smooth. Not much chocolate flavor. Could have a fuller body, but still a very good beer.

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.

Lighter side of black, thin tan head. Rich nose of chocolate raspberry coffee and cream, with a nice underlying roasty theme to it all. Flavor is one in the same, never sweet, and still gets a slight hop bitterness at the very end. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roasted coffee finish. If such a thing....a great session dessert beer....
