May 19, 2009 Big thanks to Puddintane for this 2007 bottle. Pour is deep ruby red with a short-lived tan head. First smell surprised me, way more chocolate than expected. Also cinnamon, raspberries, cloves, malt, plums, and brown sugar. The eariler description of tootsy rolls is very accurate for me. Wow. Mouthfeel is oh so velvety. Flavor is raspberries, dark cholcolate, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla. Finish is brown sugar and raspberries. Slight alcohol burn in the finish as it warms. Very tasty beer, lots of depth and complexity. Not genrally my style, but maybe it should be.

May 18, 2009 Thanks to mattmc1973 for this one. Pours dark red with no head. Not very much in the way of carbonation. Aroma is of raspberry, malt, alcohol, funk, and sugar. Taste starts off with huge tart raspberries and chocolate. There is a slight malt presence to it as well. Has a very sugary base to it all. Beyond the raspberries, the other flavors all come off as muted. Lingering tart flavors. Mouthfeel is medium and very sticky. A very one-note beer, but it is good. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it again.

May 15, 2009 Thanks to the Cheeseman for sharing. Pours a thick dark brown color with the aroma of dark sugars and dark fruits. Flavor is intense and delicious, with a ton of chocolate covered raspberry flavor. This is delicious.

May 14, 2009 This was a gracious gift in a BIF on BA. This pour deep rusty color with a nose that was great. Chocolate rasberry. Hmmm The mouthfeel was the same. Creamy, tart, raspberry fruitiness and choclate.
Damn fine beer

May 11, 2009 2007 bottle with thanks to boutip. Pours a medium brown with a little bit of a head that dies quickly and quite a few bubbles clinging to the side of the glass. Aromas are thickly sweet and fruity. Lots of toffee and chocolate with a little bit of raspberry hanging in there. Flavor is darn good... a chocolate covered raspberry or something like that. The raspberry presence has a little bit of a tart edge to it, which serves as the perfect counterbalance against the sweet toffee and chocolate malts. That said, the price is insane... the stuff is hard to get... the bottle is darn small... I probably should enjoy this one while it lasts.

May 8, 2009 Baby bottle thanks to Gabe! Poured into snifter with a brownish red color and no head. Aroma of cranberry pie and lots of fruits. Taste was like fruity raspberries, cranberries, and dessert. A nice fruit beer but would not go out of my way for it again.
