Style: Fruit Beer
Warren, Michigan USA

thanks cmubeerman, 04 bottle. Aroma of chocolate, raspberries, and dark fruit. Amazingly interesting and outrageously smooth. Flavor is dominated by raspberry, chocolate, and rounded toasty malt. Some alcohol, cherry, and fruit in the finish. Inspired.

Bottle at the RBSG 08 Grand Tasting. Pours the color of black cherry skin, no head. Aroma is heavenly and port-like, with raspberry puree, vanilla, sherry, and fudge. Flavor is dead-on raspberry hard candy, with chocolate and vanilla accent. Basically like drinking a raspberry cordial milkshake. Long lingering finish demands the next sip. Amazing dessert/nightcap/sweet-tooth beer.

Man, this one was a sipper! More than that would overwhelm your senses! Attractive solid red pour with zero head. Nose is all over the place, with raspberries, vanilla, caramel, chocolate and cherries(?) The flavor matched in all the influences. Thanks to seaoflament for this taste at the RBSG.

Courtesy of Pepsican via mysteryswap 3.0. Pours a murky red hued brown color with light carbonation. Nose is pungent, vanilla, caramel, raspberries, other red berries, chocolate, candy and some red wine characteristics. Initial taste of caramel, fig, raspberries and vanilla-oak. Mid palate displays a touch of chocolate cake and alcohol. Finishing with tangy, raspberry, sweet caramel. Excellent palate duration. Body is medium body, velvelty smooth with touch of syrupy texture mouthfeel. Very interesting stuff.

2004 bottle from UGH sampled on 7/30/08. This trade took place over a year ago! Thanks dude, been waiting to crack this at the right time, my birthday. Ridiculous nose on this thing, long, soft, soothing, arrogant..just so potent and mellow at the same time. Nose of heavy caramel, toffee, OAK, choco-raspberries. Palate is super full and velvety. Flavor was still pretty sweet with caramel, oak covered raspberry, port, and sherry like nuances. Finish was still pretty warming. Aromas were a touch over the flavor...can’t help but wonder if the age on this has taken something away. Nonetheless, pretty damn epic beer... nice.

Big thanks to miketd for this. 2007 bottle. Pours a light shade of mohagany. The aroma gives off raspberry, vanilla, caramel. But the taste is where this one is at. With a very full mouthfeel, flavors give way to raspberry’s, vanilla, almost an oak flavor and a slight bit of alcohol on the finish. I only wish this came in 750ml bottles because this was amazing and left me wanting A LoT more. Damn!

2007 bottle thanks to bman1113vr via pepsican!! really enjoyed this!!! was very different from what i was used to, but in this case different was definitely great!!!!!

2007 bottle thanks to pepsican. Pours with a light brown head that vanishes quickly. Murky dark red body with strong alcohol legs on the glass. Intoxicating (literally and fig.) aroma of raspberry, chocolate, caramel, more chocolate, jammy-ness, peaches and sherry. Taste is raspberry jam and caramel. Very super-syrupy mouthfeel. Borderline cloyingly sweet. Reminds me like a very done up caramel and chocolate version of DFH Fort. Alcohol is a bit "hot". Very good, but the bottle size is all that one needs of this beer.
