Jan 2, 2009 Pours a deep brown, nearly black beer with a firm head. Aroma is a pleasant symphony of raspberry and chocolate and malt with an understated roastiness. Flavor is not as a complex, but still represents a good mix of raspberry and light chocolate with a slight bitter chocolate finish, and some hoppiness. Easy roastiness, quite drinkable, and pairs excellently with chocolate deserts.

Jan 2, 2009 This is a pretty good beer. The raspberry is definitely noticeable in this one, although the taste is a bit more sour than usual. Not as sweet as I expected. A good beer in my opinion although I’ve had better. Drink one of those authentic Belgian framboise beers and you’ll understand why. Still, the price is not bad for this beer.

Dec 28, 2008 Clear mahogany pour with almost no ring of light tan head. Same wonderful sweet raspberry nose as the wheat, but just a tick lower. Flavor is sweet fake raspberry flavorings and a malty base. but I dont care for the tart fruity finish or the beer overall.

Dec 15, 2008 Pours a dark brown with hints of red and a tan head. Aroma is nothing but raspberry. Initial flavor is sweet raspberry and nothig else. After a few more sips a slight roasted flavor comes through but the raspberry dominates and does not balance well.

Dec 12, 2008 On tap at David Copperfield Pub New York 20-11-08. Pours deep reddy/amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet raspberry. The taste is instantly raspberry but it’s a bit artificial tasting for my liking. I find this a little thin and insubstantial, its fine but there are times when you are drinking it and barely notice.
