Sampled at post-DLD dinner at Charlies Ale House in Munster, IN. Pours a muddy brown with a thin, wispy, beige head. On the nose is cocoa, raspberry and alcohol. Medium-bodied and slick with a "warm" dry finish. The flavor follows the nose with a tart, lightly acidic and woody-dry finish. An interesting and fairly tasty brew.

Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy growler. Aged 3 years. Pours a really dark chocolate brown color with a small, swirly, cream colored head. Spotty lacing marks the glass. The aroma is very chocolaty and fruity, with raspberry asserting itself aggressively. Caramel, dark fruits, vanilla, and mild dark spices complete the nose. The flavor is sweet up front from the chocolate and caramel, but the raspberry lends a tart element that is welcomed. Very fruity, overall. The mouthfeel is big and round, its lack of carbonation working well here. This reminds me of Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock in alot of ways. Really nice brew.

Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy Growler. Pours a dark caramel brown, with a small off white head. Smells of heavy fruits, with raspberry really standing out for me. Syrupy sweet on the palate. The flavor is pretty creamy and smooth, big vanilla and dark fruit belnd together fairly nicely. Little bitter in the finish of it. Not a bad brew, maybe a little too much alcohol heat pounding on you the whole way through though. Otherwise, decent.
