Brown pour with tan head and lace. Chocolate and light sour raspberry. Chocolate raspberry, sour malt with no bitter.Thin watery but very nice drink.

Purchased at Breeze-Thru in Milwaukee, WI; consumed on a Monday night after a terrible Bears NFC Championship loss. This is OK, kinda weird with the raspberries. Appearance is a very very dark brown with a thin off white head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, cocoa, and a hint of raspberries. Taste of raspberries and chocolate, somewhat smooth, definitely decadent. It’s good but wouldn’t go out of my way to enjoy again.

Shared at the Nashville Beer Summit. I’m surprised at how my scores are so at odds with the Ratebeer scores. Sweet smoky malt, sweet and sour, quite weird. It’s hard to wrap my tongue around, but it’s a nice interesting marriage between roasted malt and sour ale.

Shared at Nashville Beer Summit 1.0. Pours brown black with a light brown head. Aroma of dark malts and berry. Lighter side of medium bodied, with average carbonation. Flavor of dark roasted malts, berry, and smoke. Green apple notes on the finish. Somewhat odd, and sort of misses the delicate balance between dark roast and fruit.

16 oz. bottle from grownfool- thanks again, Brian! Pours a deep, dark, basically opaque brown color with a finger-thick tan head that settles into an uneven film. Says ’1985-2005’ with a big 20 in between on the label- is this really from 2005? I guess I believe it, as the nose is a little oxidized, along with notes of roasted malts, smoke, raspberries, chocolate, light coffee, and toast. Flavor of raspberries, roasted malts, smoke, pepper, mustard, and barbecued meats. Really odd, mixed up flavor. It sure is pretty interesting, though. Light-medium bodied, with medium carbonation and a dry, roasty, muddled mouthfeel. Interesting porter.

Deep mahogany - almost, but not quite black. Smells like a raspberry truffle with a cup of coffee sitting next to it. Flavor is chocolate covered raspberry, again, with a coffee in the background. A bit of tartness, as well. Pretty good stuff overall.

The appearance on this is a black color with a beige head. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, and licorice. The flavor has some odd annoying sour citrus tone to it along with more chocolate and coffee. The finish is bitter and sour as well. Overall this beer would be ok minus the sourness from the raspberries, but with it not good!

Deep black opaque pour that produces a quickly falling tan head. Rich roast malt aroma. Slight roast malt bitterness in the flavor that’s accompanied by a slight sourness that detracts a bit.

Dark pour. Big fluffy tan head. Aroma of lactose, raspberry jam and chocolate. Flavor is much the same. Nice lactose flavor some light roast.

Dark brown color with a thin tan rim. Decent lacing with a strong raspberry aroma with hints of chocolate. Raspberry-chocolate flavor with a touch of caramel. Quite sweet and fruity. Better than expected.
