On tap @ the brew pub: Black with a light tan head. Aroma, light raspberry notes, some chocolate, and roasted malts. Flavor, chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, some sweetness. The raspberries are more sedated in the flavor profile than they are in the aroma. There is also some roasty bitterness on the finish. All in all a pretty good beer.

Pours black with a red tinge to it, small beige head. Aroma isn’t huge but it is chocolate all the way like a chocolate cake. Flavor is the same a subtle cocoa and unsweetened chocolate flavor that is like a freakin chocolate cake, you can’t really taste any raspberries I never would’ve been able to tell but it does leave a tart dryness in your mouth on the aftertaste. The best way to describe this beer is it’s like a chocolate cake with raspberry glaze on it, the flavors are subtle but they get stronger as it warms, no hops or alcohol taste. Very creamy mouthfeel that made this way too easy to drink, nothing over the top which is what I liked, great beer.
