Jun 5, 2009 22oz Bottle. Fresh raspberry jam aroma. Sticky and fresh. Pours a slightly cloudy deep red. Light rose fringe. Flavor is sticky sweet. Lots of raspberry jam and seeds. This is peculiar. There’s a slight edge to it, but it’s also well married. A bit of hotness and some cream. This is just too sweet for me. Thanks Sean!

May 25, 2009 22oz. bottle. Pours a ruby brown with a wispy white head. Aromas of dried cherries, raspberries, and baked raspberries. Flavor is much more of the same with a hint of sweet malt. The sweetness goes a long way towards concealing the alcohol, but there is still a slight burn at the finish. Interesting, but not worth its high price tag - I would rather have 2 bottles of New Glarus Belgian Red for the same money any day...

May 25, 2009 Thick raspberry syrup aroma. Deep russet color and light pink head. Sweet tart raspberry flavor. This stuff is a raspberry flavored punch in the face but the high ABV really isn’t offputting or even that detectable.

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle bought in Boston. Pours a berry-colored brown with a small pinkish head. Aroma and flavour were dominated by raspberries. Great mix between the sweet and sour notes on the raspberries. Really the only time I even notice the 12.3 ABV was right up front when it was still a little cold. Maybe a little simple but good and easy drinking.

Apr 12, 2009 Bomber bought on clearance at Binny’s. Poured a dark pink with a thin, light magenta head. Aroma was overwhelming raspberry, as was the flavor. More tart than sweet. Hefty alcohol content is nearly invisible to the palate. Big hit with the wine drinkers at the tasting.

Apr 9, 2009 T3 tasting. Rose color wit hfizzy white champagne head. Cranberry and soda nose. Super sweet and tart. It has a flat finish on the tongue, and I’m not referring to carbonation. Great aftertaste. I liked this one.
