| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2008 Bottled at RBESG. Very dark brown, beige head. From nose to finish the ghost of chocolate and wild raspberries hang over this beer. It’s sweet and medium bodied, densely malty with some cocoal bitterness. Like strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Quite delicious actually, but I would not drink a bottle on my own. Magicdave6 (5501), London, Greater London, England

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 4, 2008 Swingtop. Pours translucent dark brown with a thin off-white head. Light aroma of chocolate. Light body and carbonation. Maybe I tasted this one to late in the day, but the flavor seemed a little thin, just a little chocolate and cola. I’m underwhelmed.
