Nov 20, 2008 Very Raspberry. Good full fruit taste and a good brown unerneth. the Malts from the brown do hold up well.

Nov 18, 2008 draft at yardhouse. Aromas hinted at the frutiness to come in the flavor. Flavor was decent raspberry and some brown ale flavors. The refreshing berry flavor actually made this better than their boring brown.

Oct 15, 2008 Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours a pleasant brown. Malts predominate on the nose with hints of raspberry. Taste pretty good malts of a good brown ale. Raspberry isn’t all that strong. Very light and clean. A decent beer.

Oct 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep amber with a beige head. Fruity sweet aroma of raspberries with a faint hint of caramel sweetness. The body is a bit on the thin and watery side. The flavor is raspberry syrup with a touch of caramel and chocolate. Not bad.

Sep 16, 2008 Bottle. The nutty and raspberry combination works pretty, but not great. Still, liked the nutty and raspberry aroma and flavor. Liked the restraint with the raspberry, it’s not too sweet, or too overpowering. Good unique change of pace beer.

Sep 11, 2008 Bomber. Reminds me of a cocoa porter with a vegetal twist. Pours a clear mahogany with miniscule head. Milk chocolate aroma with the smallest hint of fruit. Flavor is vegetal. Bitter finish.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a dark reddish-brown with a foamy light head. Aroma is raspberry candy and sweet toasty malt. Flavor is dominated by the fake berries, with just a hint of the roasted malt and hops on the finish. Alright, but not great.

Aug 13, 2008 Dark brown with a reddish tint with a tannish head. The aroma is like raspberry cough medicine, toasted malt and light nuttiness. Medium / thin body with some sharp carbonation. The flavor starts think and watery with a touch of toasty malt and minor raspberry that comes off as fake. The finish is medicinal and astringent. This is not very good. It’s always a bit bit of warning when it says "natural raspberry flavor" ~ using the word ’flavor’ at the end strongly insinuates there is no raspberry involved with the beer and the taste backs up that assumption.
