Sep 27, 2009 GABF 2009: 2007 vintage...and it pours a deep dark amber with a gigantic tan head. The nose caused an instant ejaculation with its chocolate raspberry orgy of love. The mouthfeel was thick..alcoholic..and like a jesus blessed raspberry truffle. A sweet, thick, syrupy mind-bending dessert of a beer. ISO ISO ISO ISO ISO ISO ISO!

Sep 24, 2009 Got to sample a bottle of this at a recent beer tasting at a friend’s house. Colour... cloudy blood-red with no head. Nose... ultra-raspberry and slightly boozy! Palate... a massive burst of raspberry followed by dairy caramel, delicate chocolate and gentle spice. Very smooth!

Sep 8, 2009 Draft. Pours dark red with almost no head. Sweet jammy raspberry aroma with some underlying hints of chocolate. Similar flavor profile, with raspberry, dark fruit, some chocolate and general sweet malt notes. Just a hint of booze. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Sep 6, 2009 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Dark ruby brown pour with no head. Sweet raspberry, and dark fruit aroma. Chocolate, caramel, malt, sweet raspberry, and boozy flavors. great but not awesome.

Sep 5, 2009 Pours a dark brown/red with very little carbonation. Aroma is sweet, mostly of raspberry and other dark fruits. Again with the raspberry in the flavor not surprisingly, also malt sweetness, and chocolate mix powder. Mouthfeel was oily, dead. These fruit bombs, I can tell now, just aren’t my favorite genre thus far, which is why I don’t really understand the hype. I’m glad I got the chance to experience this nevertheless. Overall, good.

Sep 4, 2009 2007 bottle shared by Brad at Jackie O’s in Athens. The beer is a deep reddish-gold color with a very thin off-white head that disappears pretty fast. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is raspberries and cocoa along with a touch of malt. Rich body with sweet raspberry, chocolate and sherry flavors along with notes of malt. The finish is fruity with a finish of plums and malt. Right there with New Glarus Belgian Red. Very good all around.

Sep 3, 2009 On tap at Blind Tiger. The aroma is raspberries, caramel, chocolate. The appearance is an attractive purple/brown color, very thin off-white head. The flavor is amazing, raspberries, ripened fruit, caramel, booze. The finish has low intensity but lingering hop bittering. Great beer. Could definitely use some aging.
