| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2007 (bottle - 12 oz) Deep read pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is a nice mixture of chocolate, coffee, and raspberry puree. Nutty flavor at the beginning with an odd mix of chocolate, cream, and raspberries. The raspberry flavor actually stays throughout the beer and mixes well with the cream and the chocolate. Finishes a little watery and is a bit thin. jsquire (2132), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Reddish copper color with a thin, off white head. Sweet red raspberry nose over an almost cigar smoke smokiness. The flavor starts as a strong red raspberry flavor with a thin roasted grain flavor. As it finishes it becomes a very artificial cough syrup raspberry flavor that just takes over this beer. cheapdark (2050), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Nov 23, 2007 Updated: Aug 3, 2008Aroma is unique odd smell of roasted raspberries, if that is possible. Cola or rootbeer color with no head. Barely any carbonation. Raspberries, yes at first, but that is overwehlmed by a bitter sensation that is not very happy. Each drink becomes a little more difficult to enjoy. I really like raspberries but this is not a friendly raspberry drink. Medicinal bitter rancid finish that hangs on the back of the throat for many minutes afterwards. Will not buy again. Probably should be in the fruit beer category. These southern tier brews all seem to be below average IMHO. cbkschubert (2031), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Huge raspberry aroma that just overpowers your senses. A brown pour with light tan head. All the raspberry are used on the nose not much raspberry flavor. A light fruit after taste. Thin but carbonation is good. A beer that promises alot but doesn’t deliver on the flavor like it does on the nose. Bad? No, just not what the nose led me to believe it would be. mar (1985), Dallas, Texas, USA
