Commercial Description:
The brown ale base, complex in itself , with the addition of raspberries both as a seasoning and a further fermentation, produces a beer with exceptional depth of flavor. Use of authentic fruit leads to a ripe seductiveness all the more alluring as the delicate notes are not overpowered. Available Thanksgiving through the holiday season.

A more subdued raspberry flavor when compared to the Framboise Lambic. Very refreshing after a strong ale or meal.

Pours a slightly hazy red-brown with a small foamy head. A bit of sourness in the big raspberry aroma and flavor, along with roasted malt and nuts. Just a bit on the thin side. A decent, non-artificial tasting fruit brew.

12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Poured a pretty reddish brown with a thin, almost pink head. Nice sour berry aroma. Medium bodied, slightly spritzy mouthfeel. Lots of raspberry in the flavor with some chocolate malt. Slightly sour in a good way. Not overly sweet. No discernible hops. Very drinkable. I hadn’t had this in a while, and I found it much better than I remembered.

pours a clear magenta with a thin beige head, and some lacing. smell is of fruit, nuts, molasses, and a little brown sugar. taste is tart, raspberry, cranberry, some hops, slight sweetness in the back, and ends a little bitter. overall a nice fruity brew.

deep chocolate brown pour with a cream head. raspberries on the nose but not much else. not too bad on the palate with a raspberry tart flavor that lasts throughout the finish.
