Oct 18, 2009 Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours opaque brown/black. Half-finger tan head that left quickly. Aroma of ancient raspberries. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is very raspberry, accompanied by chocolate. As time goes by, it actually tastes much like a raspberry chocolate truffle - though bitter, not sweet. Finishes in a good way that I can’t begin to describe. Sort of vinous, a bit sour. Ok. I can begin. Wow, if this is 4 years old. Or if it isn’t! Buy one before they go away.

Sep 30, 2009 Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Black, small beige head. Lightly roasty. Thecocoa and raspberry shows up early. Medium bodied withclean, rounded mouthfeel. Juicy raspberry meets coffee. Dry, slightly citric notes of berries. Fairly low bitterness. A well balanced yet unusual beer staying wel outside of the mainstream (no bourbon barel in sight here!). After the initial confusion I start to really like this!

Sep 13, 2009 Pours deep brown. Aroma of wine. Very light on flavor with an initial hint of raspberry followed by burnt chocolate. Bitterness, but not from hops. Sour aftertaste.

Aug 6, 2009 Dark brown with ruby highlights with a large three finger tan head slowly fading away leaving some splotchy lace. Aroma of a raspberry fruit filled donut, chocolate and malt. If only it tasted like it’s smelled. Mild raspberry at first with some light chocolate and malt and finished up with some raspberry sweet/tartness. Creamy yet thin, oily, dry and astringent with a touch of bitterness. Typical Sprecher, I guess – the king champion of mediocrity.
