Strong tart raspberry aroma. Clear dark amber color with a medium but quickly diminishing head. Light malt in the beginning changing to mild sweet raspberry flavor. Finishing with strong fruity yeast.

Reddish brown with a creamy light brown head. Aroma of chocolate and raspberries. Sweet chocolate and somewhat tart raspberry in the flavor. Way better than I expected.

Botle: Poured a murky brown with a tan color head. The aroma is coffee bean with chocolate/nuts. Taste is overwhelming coffee malt, if this had raspberry in it, then it was hidden well.

Poured a murky red brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of raspberries, caramel malts, some nuts, chocolate, and a bit of roastiness. Taste of bland raspberry, caramel, toast, cardboard, and toffee. Nice aroma, but falls off some in the flavor.

12oz twist-off bottle. Medium brown-reddish legs. Aroma of dogfood and raspberries. Toasted malt. Fizzy lambic mouthfeel. Hint of raspberry and chocolate. NOT NICE.

pours brown w/ minimal tan head. aroma almost like a stout with raspberries. medium bodied w/ soft carbonation. easy to drink ,finished slightly bitter. not bad for a fruit beer, most of which seem overly sweet.

From bottle. Has a decent raspberry fruity aroma, with a bit of chocolatey malt in with it. Bit harsh with some bitter character, too. A bit of veggie or sulfur. Dark ruby-brown clear with a medium-thin foamy lacing off-white head. Thin watery body with medium to light carbonation. Starts with a medium dose of fruity acidity, light raspberry flavor, and mild caramel-chocolate maltiness. A little bit of hoppy bitterness and fruit skin-pulp chalkiness towards the finish. Somewhat crisp, but there is a lingering fruity bitterness to the after.
