Pours a darkish pink/ amber that is still. Smell has a lot of esters and berry with a light note of chocolate. Taste is very much berry and a light note of chocolate with a bit of chemical astringency. Mild honey flavor. Overall a bit harsh in taste and a bit of alcohol heat.

bottle... pours a medium pink, a dark blush wine, no head... smells ridiculous, super fresh strawberries with an accent of chocolate, a bit of bitter cocoa, one of the best smelling drinks I’ve encountered, so balanced and complex, wow... the taste doesn’t not live up, so disappointed as I thought this was going to be epic, a bit of strawberry, lots of bitternes, but then its super generic, chemically and the finish is a terrible metallic chemical aftertaste... what a let down

Bottle purchased at some store in Michigan. Yellow/gold pour with no carbonation and slight legs. Aroma of strawberry, butter and honey. Strawberry and honey flavor with butter and a hint of chocolate. Based on the name I was hoping it would be similar to Chocolate Raspberry Love from Rabbit’s Foot, but the chocolate was very muted in this and not quite what I was hoping for.

Pours amberish in color. Pure berry aroma, a bit astringent in the nose. Nice mixed berry flavors with hints of earthy raw woody chocolate. I liked version one better.
