Gigantic thanks to hopscotch for opening this bottle at the end of an epic Vero Beach Throwdown. Awesome! 2007 vintage. Pours a dark reddish brown, with thin braids of lacing prevalent. Very thin, but well carbonated head. Aroma is great: raspberry, chocolate, candy corn, silky slivering malts. The candy corn especially comes through in big chunks. Flavor is powerful. Well blended raspberries, very warming chocolate, candy corn, nougat intertwined with a waterfall of caramel. Delightful. Very bright finish, bitter mouthfeel. Astonishingly drinkable, and exceptionally well-balanced. Deserved of its praise.

EBF V Session I. Outstanding balance of fruit with malt on the opening and continues and is left at the end with added hints of warm alcohol and dry sourness. Stands out and will fit in well with many styles.

very small sample thanks to justincredible’s awful pour, dark with minimal head. nice slightly yeasty and alcoholic aroma with mabye a touch of caramel and raspberry. taste is much of the same with a bold upfront flavor of raspberry, chocolate and caramel. there is a lingering caramel and rasberry. the raspberry is very mild and easily enjoyed. great beer. anyone want to trade?

Bottled 2004(thx Chris and Jim). Outstanding aroma of chocolate and raspberries. Semi clear and deep red in colour with almost no head. Complex and very well balanced with notes of liqourice, hazel nuts, raspberry marmelade andchccolate. Yummy.

This is one ridiculous beer.... Picked this one up in a trade from Styles.. Can’t thank you enough, Chris.... Murky, ruby-amber pour into my flute and immediately I’m overwhelmed with the aroma of chocolate covered raspberries wafting out of the glass. Incredibly enticing smell.... Very sweet, tart and fruity taste that slowly melds into a sweet dark chocolate finish that I can’t seem to get enough of. Again, just an incredible experience.. Thanks again to Styles for helping me out on this brew...

2004 - Pours a slightly hazy amberish brown, with no head. Wisps of small bubbles. Smells like a sweet raspberry chocolate torte. Full of fruity frosting, this has a very sweet smell, with smooth chocolate through and through with some caramel as well. Flavor is a perfect balance of rich toffee, chocolate covered cherries, and caramel dipped apples. Wonderfully bittersweet and sour raspberry puree. Delicious, but comes somewhat cloying as it warms.

Aroma: is red, ripe raspberry, full bodied, almost port-like, but not quite there yet. Instead it is a rich caramel accent to the raspberry. And a touch of leather, but I might be reaching. Taste is sweet raspberry, touches of alcohol and caramel. Palate is slightly fizzy, rich, cloying raspberry caramel sweetness, followed by a dull alcohol that is only familiar because of the carbonation. Overall, with about 3 to 5 years on this, this beer would be world class. As it is, it is merely outstanding. 848416

Cloudy reddish-brown body with a smaller off-white head. Aroma of chocolate some raspberries, raisins, caramel, and a hint of citrus. Flavou is rich with chocolate, thick honey, and raspberry syrup. Very unique and tasty.
