Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark brown (in the glass; but the pour stream is fairly light). The head is moderate and tan and quickly dissipates into a slight ring. Aroma is firmly raspberry, but there are notes of leather and toffee. Med plus body. Flavor is pretty much the aroma. Something like honey/toffee survives each quaff. Very slightly astringent raspberry aspect. Strangely pleasing.

Draft at Trainwreck. Pours dark brown, with a fairly big, frothy, beige head. The nose is vanilla, bright raspberry, butterscotch, light pipe tobacco, and cocoa. Sweet and malty, with a mild, musty tartness. Medium body, a bit sharp, and chewy. Beautiful, complex and clean.
