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.

Aug 12, 2008 Tasted @ the Loast Coast Brewery in Eureka.
Another interesting combination. Raspberry aroma and a sweet malty flavor. Some chocolate. Interesting, but glad it was a taster.

Aug 9, 2008 The Dan Journal #214. Tasted 7/22/08. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a brown hue. Bone white head. Red berry aromas. Medium bodied with a very high effervescence. Caramel malts with a dry finish. Bitter hoppy finish, but the palate is all Raspberries. Not bad, but good to share.

Jul 25, 2008 Very dark brown with a small slightly toasted head. Aroma of raspberries and almost has a slight cough syrup smell too. This is actually pretty decent with more raspberry and some chocolate that really comes together pretty well. You really have to be in the mood for this one though.

Jul 22, 2008 Dark amber, even cola colored, with a small tan head. Very little retention with only the faintest ring remaining. Aroma is raspberry dominated with some faint malt. Those are flavors that would seem to collide and that happens in the flavor. Although it is, again, raspberry dominated, malted barley flavor with some chocolate. These are all great flavors, just not combined. 22 ounces was too large of a bottle. Another one? No thanks.
