Jan 27, 2008 2007 Bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pours a cloudy reddish brown (almost purplish) with a thin creamy cap that leaves patchy lace on the glass. The nose is a malty, sour and pleasantly funky raspberry. Medium-bodied and slightly grainy with a tart finish. The flavor is an delicious blend of tart raspberry and dark caramel and chocolate malt. It was a real treat to get to try this one. Thanks again, Eugene!

Jan 23, 2008 Cloudy reddish brown, moderate to small head, some lacing and retention. Aroma is nearly divine. Raspberries, chocolate, caramel, the usual Eisbock type notes. Despite how big the aroma is, there’s a softness to it. Medium to heavy body, some alcohol and acidity in the finish. However, it’s still velvety smooth. The raspberry flavor is rich, not overly sweet. I wish it was cheaper and findable. Thanks Artusory!

Jan 20, 2008 Aroma of dried fruit (particularly raspberries) and chocolate, with a bit of a distracting scent which reminded me of a particular Japanese blueberry gum that I like (though not so good for a beer). Tasted like dried raspberries, honey, caramel, and good, fruity chocolate.

Jan 20, 2008 Updated: Mar 5, 20082004 bottle from cbkshubert. Thanks Craig! Opened at the Red Poppy release, while waiting in line. Lot’s of oxidation in a good way, but detracting from the potential of the beer. Red brown color. A hint of sour. Lots of raspberry flavor and texture, but seems subdued from what I imagine it tasted like fresher. 8,3,8,3,17:3.9
Tasted at 2008 Woodshop hosted by cquiroga. Wow. Sweet. Over the top raspberry aroma and taste. Deep, dark red. Much better than the 2004 version I had couple of months ago. I’m starting to not prefer oxidation and too much age on beers, and I think the 2004 was past it’s prime. The 2007 was great! 9,4,9,4,18:4.4

Jan 20, 2008 On draft at Hop Devil Grill for Daze of the Devil II. Pours a murky dark brown with a small off white head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberry, sweetner, alcohol and earth notes. Full bodied with lively carbonation. Flavors of earth, chocolate, alcohol, and slight raspberry. I can’t believe this beer is in the top twenty!! Not even close to being a 4 in my eyes although several people did say that the older version was better. I wish I had that version instead.

Jan 20, 2008 2007 is one of the best. Great chocolate/rasberry flavor. A little pricey at $13 a bottle (6 oz) but the Brothers did another great job.

Jan 20, 2008 Updated: Feb 13, 2008Pours a dark, murky red with no head. Aroma of raspberry, chocolate, caramel, and slight alcohol. Taste like it smells with a wonderful velvet mouth feel. A complex and beautiful beer.

Jan 19, 2008 Draft at the Hop Devil Grill. Brown pour with a reddish hint and some head. Aroma of raspberries, chocolate, sweet malt. The flavor is the same, real sweet, with some alcohol also. It had a smooth texture.
