Southern Tier Raspberry Porter

Strong aroma of raspberries, cocoa, and vanilla. Pours a deep brownish red with minimal head. Flavor is almost all raspberries. Mildly tart finish.

Another raspbeery dark brew that shouldn’t be made. Poured brown with a white head. Aroma of berries and chocolate. That was good. A watery chocolate berry swirl in a bad way.

Clear brown with next to no head. Aroma of candied raspberries, caramel and sweet malt. Taste of chocolate and artificial raspberries. It’s a bit too sweet and a bit tough to finish the bottle as it was a bit too sweet and cola like.

Dark brown in color with a small tan head. Aroma of rasberries, dry chocolate and some cardboard/stale malt. Taste has some rasberry, light roast, some papery malts, and chocolate. Light bodied, watery.

Pours with a brown body (light for a porter) topped by a medium thick head with a gooda mount of lacing on the glass. It’s malty and full of raspberry notes and underlying roast as well as a light tartness. Light bodied for a porter and smooth.

dark amber pour with two finger light brown head, aroma of rasberry. the taste is not of rasbery but is bitter flavor with a long finish.

At times, I was a bit overwhelmed by the sweetness of the beer. True porter with caramel malts, the raspberries paid a nice compliment. Still, there was some level of depth that was lacking.

Cherry/raspberry aroma along with some roast malts. Clear golden brown. Tastes like a cherry Coke! Highly carbonated with lots of a cherry raspberry fruitiness and some underlying roast. Very dry and bitter finish that has a touch of astringency. I would have liked a bit more of the roast to balance the fruit and a little more body.
