Aug 20, 2009 This one was sorta disappointing. It’s more raspberry than porter, IMO. The fruit flavors are definitely there, it’s borderline too sweet for me. It looks pretty nice on a pour though. A rare miss from Southern Tier, in my opinion.

Mahogany color; small head. Dusty and fruity aroma. Dry caramel flavor, harsh and dry berry fruit touch. Bad.

Aug 6, 2009 I really liked this stuff. I was skeptical about a raspberry porter, but the flavors go along great in this recipe. The raspberry flavor is really great and upfront, but is balanced very well with the common porter flavors, namely chocolate. It comes across almost like eating a raspberry flavored chocolate candy. Tasty!

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with a tan head. Sweet raspberry sugar cane notes with a lighter sugar sweetness. A bit tart with berry fruit. Not so good.

10/17/2007: Southern Tier Raspberry Porter has fresh raspberries, caramel malt, and brown sugar in its aroma. It has a clear, brown-colored appearance and is topped by a beige crown. The flavor includes chocolate tending toward highly roasted malts. It has a dry, char-like finish and the aftertaste is like raspberry iced tea. This beer has a medium body, but is not quite smooth. It seems yeasty or gritty or something. This beer just seems unbalanced and off-track. It just doesn’t work overall.
12 fl. oz. bottle. Rating #215 for this beer.

Jul 16, 2009 Bottle. Pour was deep copper with a somewhat lasting head. This seemed to be a brown porter for it was not dark enough to be a real porter. Aroma was strong of raspberries which was nice but overpowering to the brew. Flavors were again fruity and unforgiving to the light but nice roast characters of the brew. If the beer favored the porter style a little more, I would order another.
