This pour deep rusty color with a nose that was great. Chocolate rasberry. Hmmm The mouthfeel was the same. Creamy, tart, raspberry fruitiness and choclate.
Damn fine beer

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 11, 2009 2007 bottle with thanks to boutip. Pours a medium brown with a little bit of a head that dies quickly and quite a few bubbles clinging to the side of the glass. Aromas are thickly sweet and fruity. Lots of toffee and chocolate with a little bit of raspberry hanging in there. Flavor is darn good... a chocolate covered raspberry or something like that. The raspberry presence has a little bit of a tart edge to it, which serves as the perfect counterbalance against the sweet toffee and chocolate malts. That said, the price is insane... the stuff is hard to get... the bottle is darn small... I probably should enjoy this one while it lasts. Swolf3 (253), Elkton, Maryland, USA

Aroma of cranberry pie and lots of fruits. Taste was like fruity raspberries, cranberries, and dessert. A nice fruit beer but would not go out of my way for it again.

Overall enjoyed it but wouldnt go out of my way to have it again TearsforBeers (173), Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 1, 2009 cracked open to celebrate finishing up my undergraduate years... thanks Polomagnifico!
Pours out a nice dark, thick, red-tinged amber with no visible carbonation. Aroma is of tart raspberries, caramelized sugar, and malt sweetness. The flavor is very nice, starting with malty chocolate and caramel, moving into the luscious raspberries, rounding back into roasty, chocolate malts, and finishing with lingering raspberries - subtle and great! Mouthfeel is smooth, syrupy without being annoying, and warming. Overall, excellent. Tweety (344), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Big thanks to Joshua for this bottle. The aroma is ridiculously fruity. There’s definitely raspberries in this one. The flavor is all chocolate with a touch of fruitiness to start, finishing out in a really strong, but absolutely delicious raspberry aftertaste. A real treat. sunevdj (1785), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle traded with toncatcher. Enjoyed at home. Pours a clearish reddish brown with no head. Smells of chocolate and caramel with some berries. (Toms chokoladeskilpadde) Quite sweet with a mellow tartness. Aromas of chocolate, berries and tiny hints of toasted malts. Some residual sugars. Full bodied. Very soft carbonation. Long chocolatey and somewhat tart finish. Tastes very much like chocolates filled with some berry substance. Thanks Dennis!
