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.

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.

Bottle from my buddy in INDY.... 2007 baby bottle edition... Poured into a snifter. Red in color no head. Aroma of cranberry and raspberries.. Taste is the same a fruity raspberry taste. Light chocolate notes. No carbonation but not flat... A good dessert beer but nothing special.. Overall enjoyed it but wouldnt go out of my way to have it again

cracked open to celebrate finishing up my undergraduate years... thanks Polomagnifico! Pours out a nice dark, thick, red-tinged amber with no visible carbonation. Aroma is of tart raspberries, caramelized sugar, and malt sweetness. The flavor is very nice, starting with malty chocolate and caramel, moving into the luscious raspberries, rounding back into roasty, chocolate malts, and finishing with lingering raspberries - subtle and great! Mouthfeel is smooth, syrupy without being annoying, and warming. Overall, excellent.

Big thanks to Joshua for this bottle. The aroma is ridiculously fruity. There’s definitely raspberries in this one. The flavor is all chocolate with a touch of fruitiness to start, finishing out in a really strong, but absolutely delicious raspberry aftertaste. A real treat.

Bottle traded with toncatcher. Enjoyed at home. Pours a clearish reddish brown with no head. Smells of chocolate and caramel with some berries. (Toms chokoladeskilpadde) Quite sweet with a mellow tartness. Aromas of chocolate, berries and tiny hints of toasted malts. Some residual sugars. Full bodied. Very soft carbonation. Long chocolatey and somewhat tart finish. Tastes very much like chocolates filled with some berry substance. Thanks Dennis!

2007. A real dark ruby pour, I don’t see too much sediment. No head to speak of. What an interesting smell almost like port, without the alcohol. Lots of raspberry, coated with chocolate. Flavors are similar, layers of chocolate covered fruits with some candied fruits and malt added in. Minimal hops, small bubbly activity carbonation wise. Full bodied and sticky. Very drinkable, though I don’t think I would want more than just this little bottle at a time. The finish is just a little bit fading sour fruit. This is probably the only drawback on this one. Dessert in a bottle. A must try.

One of the most incredible beers I have ever had. It’s aroma is chocolate, fudge, and raspberry. The mouthfeel is smooth and not overly chewy. Its flavor lingers and as it warms, it tastes like a tootsie roll. An expensive beer, but worth the money if you’ve never had it.
