Jan 17, 2009 Expected this to be darker. Smell is of fresh ripe berries and wine cooler. Mouth is thin. Weak carbonation. This IS a wine cooler. Where is a chocolate malt character? Wtf? This sucks. Only recommended if there’s nothin new @ your store or you’re gonna split it w some chick ur gonna nail...otherwise stick w a single...NO 6er!

Raspberry and chocolate flavor, some roast notes, slight grainy hints leaving a bit of astringency. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.

Jan 15, 2009 A beer with a really great aroma, and a big letdown in the flavor. Big raspberry aroma. Brown color, and a thin lacing head. Unfortunate cough syrup flavor that makes it quite unpleasant to drink, for as great as it smells. There is roasted malt, but all I can really think of is the bad flavor. They got the aroma right, now work on the flavor.

Jan 15, 2009 The aroma of this beer was so promising!!! Brownish-red pour with a small head. The nose was a chocolate raspberry dessert. The flavor was a very dulled version of the aroma. Very disappointing flavor after such a great aroma.

Jan 15, 2009 From 12-oz bottle and shared by Badgerben, pours a reddish brown brew with a thin beige head that has some nice retention. Aroma of raspberry and dark chocolate, flowery hops and some caramel. Taste is medium bodied with flavors of caramel malt with some raspberry syrup. Finish has a more artificial berry aftertaste that over powers some of the dark malt flavors.

Jan 7, 2009 Sampled at Mission Bar and Grill. Pours a brown color with a light, tanish head. Nose is very sweet malt, hints of fruit esters. Palate is thin and lacking. Flavors are sweet caramel malt, lightly fruity, not overly done, but a bit raspberry syrupy notes.

Jan 7, 2009 Bottle with Butters at First Cellar Reduction. Pours a deep brown color with not much head. Strong raspberry nose. Heavy raspberry flavor with some toast. Thin for a porter.
