Tap at Dry Dock - listed as "Walt’s Frambozen" - turbid reddish pour - decent head - earthy raspberry nose - creamy on the palate - sturdy malt base, with some semi-sweet notes of chocolate - the fruit is very well-integrated into the malt profile - lightly acidic, tart/nearly sour up front - full but mellow raspberry throughout - notes of the whole fruit: sweet fruitmeat, bitter seeds, tart skin - a very light leathery character - linger sweet/sour finish - mild but interesting flavor profile - I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Aroma - heavy raspberry, tart; Appearance - dark reddish-brown, opaque, fluffy head, laces well; Taste - mild front, tart back, faint raspberry notes, finish is somewhat bland; Palate - good crispness, average body; Overall - decent effort though pretty lacking in flavor.
