6 oz bottle courtesy of Schroppfy. Poures a murky burgundy color with a small head that soon disappears. The aroma is big with sweet red fruits, raspberry can be identified; also present in the nose is dark chocolate. The flavor is rich with ripe tart raspberries and caramel. the mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The finish is long and sticky sweet with lingering caramel. Overall: A first rate concoction. A must try.

6.3 oz bottle at Kuhnhenn’s. Pours a dark blood red with the thinest of tan head that disappears quickly and leaves good lacing. Aroma is raspberries, caramel, chocolate, and funk. Taste is much of the same with just a hint of the alcohol lingering in the background. Mouthfeel is very thick, sticky, and unluckily rather oily. Beyond the drawback of having an oily mouthfeel this is a truly amazing beer that should absolutely be enjoyed by all.

Rating #1000, at midnight on my 1-year RB anniversary. 2007 bottle. Pours a dark, cloudy, ruby red color. A foamy, beige colored head settles to a wispy film, leaving some sudsy lace and thick legging to slowly droop back towards the body. The nose is fantastic. Its like a chocolate Caramello bar infused with fresh, candied raspberries and almonds. Flavors, too, are intensely sweet and candy-like. Milk chocolate and caramel exert significant influence, while moderately tart raspberries lend a slightly sour, fruity funk. Evaluated on the whole, the flavor is best described as a fresh raspberry dipped in a bath of chocolate and caramel. The body is nearly full, slick, and viscous, with a touch of a syrupy, warm, tart finish. I’m not particularly fond of fruit beers, eisbocks, or syrupy dessert beers in general, but I can’t help but respect how well this brew is crafted. Magnificent in small quantities.

Thanks to hopdog and weeare138 for sharing bottles. Pours a deeper amber with golden notes and little to no head. Aroma of milk chocolate, raspberries, candy corn, alcohol, caramel, dark fruits and some vanilla. Flavor was a lot of the same caramel, chocolate notes, honey, raspberry,(but not as up front as I was expecting) and very much brandy like.

Bottle [Vintage 2007] @ Cnudde Tasting.. Clear medium amber red color with a small, fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, cream - light caramel, spicy, berry - raspberry caramel, light vintage. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium full to medium, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is flat. (290308)
