chocolate and rasperry. "give it a good score for me, or I’ll kick your ass," the wasted kid shouts from the corner of the room. what a homo.

Bottle shared at Muckfest 2009 in Lancaster Ohio by Nolankowal. Much to his sadness! The smell was actually pretty nice and I really wanted to like it. Chocolate dipped raspberries! The flavor was the same. Chocolate and raspberries were present, with a hint of vanilla and coffee, but what disappointed me the most was the texture. This was thin and watery. Had it been thicker, these flavor combinations could have been outstanding.

thanks john! .. . fun to try this! .. chocolate and raspberry with tar in the nose .. . very intresting stuff .. . cherry, chocolate, sugar crystals, and light roast in the taste .. . light tartness, a tad confusing but very tame and tasty .. . almost like a cherry cordial .. . peace, love, and valvoline...

500ml 20th anniversary bottle. Opaque brown-black color. Minimized off-white head. Artificial raspberry aroma. The extract raspberry really dominates the flavor, which I don’t find to be so unforgivable. Not really much else to mention, raspberry with a light choco-malt balance. Refreshing palate cleanser, I can dig it.

16 oz. bottle from Discount Liquor in Milwaukee. Pours a clear dark brown color with a medium sized beige head. The aroma is a sweet/sour raspberry puree with hints of chocolate and caramel candy. The flavor opens with a sweet raspberry light chocolate blend but breaks down mid palate into a watery sour raspberry with a mild amount of random bitterness. This shows up a little thin and is probably a shadow of its former self.

Bottle from Keg Liquor. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate raspberry, coffee and chocolate malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy dark chocolate fruity flavor with medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid complex beer.

Pours a dark black with a modest tan head. Aroma is very strong of a sweet and soured raspberry exctract, some chocolate and caramel but the flavors do not meld to make an appealing aroma at all. Raspberry hits you right off the bat, slightly sour, and moves into a light chocolate and caramel malt presence in the middle of the tasting and then ends with a smokey, burned malt ending. Carbonation is high on this one and the density is good for the style. Beer has a slight vinyl and soy flavor (possibly from aging) to it which makes it almost impossible to drink and is not a good beer, in my mind. Flavors just did not meld at all in the aged version and was a drain pour for me.

Pours an opaque black with a medium, fizzy, tan head.Light body with medium carbonation. Aroma dominated by raspberries. Tastes conspicuously of sweet raspberries, chocolate, caramel, some malts, and coffee. Rather fruity for my preference but this is a decent beer overall.
