Dec 24, 2008 2007 bottle thanks to miketd. dark ruby pour with no head. smooth nose of raspberries, chocolate and caramel. quite nice on the palate with a very subtle raspberry flavor that is dominated mostly by the chocolate and caramel. it did feel a little hot but i am not complaining.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle 2007. Reddish brown pour. Aromas of wood, caramel, port, honey, vanilla and some chocolate raspberries. Flavor is good, but really not what I expected. Initial hit of chocolate, raspberry, caramel, vanilla and thick mouthfeel is offset by too much alcohol. I was unimpressed with the finish to be honest. But I did like the beer.

Dec 7, 2008 This poured a dirty red to brown in color. The nose showed off lots of chocolate dipped raspberries. This is simillar in the medium-bodied palate that had nice richness. While this was an enjoyable beer, I do not quite get all the fuss. It was well-balanced yet fairly simple.

Oct 25, 2008 Small 6.3 oz. green bottle/Cranberry Waxed 2004 Vintage
Poured into a Unibroue chalice a nice dark brown color, nice carbonation, fizzy little head, not much sticky lacing at all. The nose is raspberry, malty, and chocolate. The taste is malty, plenty of raspberry and chocolate, slightly bitter/tangy. Medium body. Very drinkable, this sucker is awesome, too bad you don’t get much, highly recommended, thanks Brady.

Oct 22, 2008 Thanks to Rustychiles for sharing this, and congrats on #500. Pours a pale-ish amber/red with no head. Bottom of tiny bottle is a dark, viscous syrup. Aroma is of malt, light raspberries, and particularly of chocolate. Taste to match - on the sweet side, but not overly-cloying. Would make a great dessert beer. I was pleasantly surprised that the booze character didn’t overpower the other flavors.

Oct 18, 2008 #500!!!!!!! vintage bottle courtesy of goryshkewych.
Pours a nice murky brownish red color with a lot of black sediment in the bottom of the bottle that I had to avoid pouring into the glass initially. Aroma is very sweet syrupy decadent chocolate, raspberry, and caramel. Flavor is raspberry, chocolate, caramel, vanilla bean, with a syrupy thick mouthfeel. Great after dinner cordial or slow sipping delight.
