Nov 13, 2009 Sampled at FoBAB 09. Been intrigued by and wanting to try this one for a while, so it was must try at FoBAB. Black pour with tan head. Wasn’t aware this was a stout. But the aroma of is raspberries! Nice, fresh raspberries and chocolate. Flavor is a balanced raspberry and chocolate concoction with some notes of bourbon, vanilla. Great, full mouthfeel. Definitely, a standout from the very strong RockBottom entrants.

Nov 7, 2009 09 FoWBAB. Opaque black. Brown head. Good roast and raspberry. Some good vanilla notes. Wow! Some real intense raspberry and bozze notes. Stout is still there. Rich and decadent.

Jan 2, 2009 FOBAB 08’. This was tied for my favorite stout of the day. Poured dark black with a tan head. Aroma was caramel, chocolate and raspberries. Taste was chocolate, oak, ash, berry sweetness on the end. I thought this was very well put together and the flavors were integrated very well. Big and rich.

Nov 19, 2008 Fobab VI. I was very pleasantly surprised by this one, as I expected the raspberries too much. It was as advertised, an imperial stout with raspberries. Huge body, black with off brown head. Nose is strawberries and roast. I was shocked that the beer really does hold the raspberries in check. Nice chocolate notes with some vanilla and roast/acridity. Over all, I’d say this would have to be in small doses, but pretty damn awesome and original for what it is. tasty.

Apr 25, 2008 Served in a sniffer. Actually a strange, little brew. The berries are apparent up front but its missing the key roastiness and chocolate that could make this pretty good. Too bad its not.

Apr 13, 2008 I thought this was a very good beer, but I think I might have had too high of expectations going into it. Pours black with a thin tan head. Heavy chocolate and bourbon aroma and flavor. The raspberry flavor was decent but it had a hard time fighting through the bourbon. Overall, very good though.

Apr 12, 2008 Choco-bourbon flavor, medium sweetness. Syrupy at times, alcohol bittering, cola flavors. A bit artificial tasting.
