Beershine (1059), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 14, 2008 Draught, Yardhouse Palm Beach Gardens. Almost opaque dark brown with thin white head. Bright raspberry nose with dash of nutmeg--nice. Initial raspberry flavors round to mellow malts and pie crust. Solid effort, surprisingly good.
sebletitje (104), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 6, 2008 Ruby color, with a thin brownish head. Aroma is a mix of raspberry with chocolat malt and caramel. I wish the rapsberry was a little more present than the chocolat.
I am happy to notice the use of real raspberries instead of a bad extract. Lubiere (3130), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jul 4, 2008 A clear brown ale with a thick off white head. A striking raspberry aroma with light chocolate notes. In mouth, roasted malt with an astringent raspberry pulp, very oily. Medium bodied. Bieropholie import. December 2006. thegreenrooster (1433), St.louis, Missouri, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pour is a brown with a little red to it and a nice big tan head. Aroma is deffinatly raspberries. Big and fresh but not much else. Flavor is first the raspberry and then you get a slight chocolate on the tounge after the swallow. Kind of an odd beer and something i wanted to hate before I had it but it turned out to be ok. Now why they put this in a 22oz is beyond me. About 12oz is all you can handle of this. 17thfloor (566), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours a thin dark brown with larger carbonation bubbles and a nice thick fluffy beige head. Fresh raspberry and malty aroma with a hint of creamy chocolate. Flavor of raspberries, crystal malt and very tiny bit of chocolate. Thin body with almost lively carbonation. Not much different than Great Divides offering, except without the bitterness. Off-dry finish. Again... I want a full-bodied raspberry brown... not some thin fruit beer. Although, this is very drinkable. littlecarp (128), Redding, California, USA Jun 29, 2008 Nice brown pour w/ tan foamy head that was thick like whipped cream. slight dish-rag smell. Opening with a very fruity flavor but develops into a flavored chocolate taste. Thin bodied with light carbonation. Excellent desert beer after a meal, but not at all complex.
