750ml bottle pours an oily black with some off white head. Nose has heavy chocolate, mild plastic. More in the flavor, sweet chocolate and molasses, berry. Sweet finish.

Bottle pour at the May 1st DC Tasting. Poured a very dark black color, medium body with a medium sized tan head - lots of lacing, very similar to the original version. Not a lot of raspberry on there, but perhaps a touch fruit, with chocolate. Coconut is perhaps there. Lots of roast, milk chocolate, bitter notes, light spices.

750 ml bottle shared by my friend Tyler with DCLawyer. Thanks Tyler! Jet black with light tan head. Aromas of light raspberries, chocolate, roasty notes. Tastes of dark chocolate, caramel, some coconut, roasty notes, dark fruit. Medium body with a dry finish. Don’t get much of the raspberries.
