From tap at City Tap House. Pours pitch black with a small chocolate brown head. Aroma is fruity; raspberries, roasted malty too. Smooth raspberry fruity to a dark roasted malty base. Smooth and lingering dark malty with a light citric raspberry note.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown - almost black- with tan head. Nose and taste of chocolate covered raspberries, dusty cocoa, roast chocolate malt, coffee roast and vanilla. Finishes with slightly soured raspberries but still plenty of roast. Body is a little on the lighter side of medium.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Wilburs Fort Collins I believe. Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin, dark brown head. Dark berry, raspberry, fruity yeasty, a touch spicy, roasty malty, chocolate, light anise aroma. At first, I’m a bit overwhelmed by a charred, anise, s’more flavor but some raspberry does follow. The finish kind of reminds me of a Raspberry Hot Cocoa drink or Raspberry Mocha. A bit thin and a bit odd, but it’s not overall that bad. Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of Belgian stouts, but I’ll drink it.

Tap art the Stagshead while trying to procrastinate going grocery shopping. Pours jet black with small purplish head. nose is roasty and of cocoa and light fruit. You get hints of raspberry’s on palate but not overwhelmingly so. You also get roasted malt, cocoa powder, earth, and wood. nice and not too sweet

Bottle. Completely black, large beige head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma is very roasty coffee grounds, cocoa, berries. The fruit is subtle but present, with a nice coarse roastiness and powdery cocoa coffee. Normally fruit stouts are not my thing, but somehow this one works.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours dark brown/black with a creamy darkish tan head. Aroma of chocolate followed by red berry. Med body or better. Sort of creamy. Flavor is chocolate, smooth burnt malt and raspberry. After that there is a yeast/spice thing, but any fruity esters must be drowned out by the strong flavors. It’s very different and pretty tasty. Raspberry isn’t overdone. Finishes nearly dry with a little chalky/ashy thing. Rather tasty and mouthsmacking.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Sparrow-Downtown, 12/13/12, Rating #2650!
Aroma: The nose is a little roasty, some bread/dough, raspberry, Belgian yeast, and chocolate
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a small brown head and some drippy lace spots
Flavor: The taste is pretty clean and malty, with a little fruity sweetness, and a light bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, it is fairly creamy, has a soft carbonation, and a smooth finish
Overall Impression: Interesting stuff, but ultimately, not a favorite for me. Still though, I don't have many complaints. I found it solid all-around, but the creaminess of the feel was the stand-out component of the beer.

On tap at Tangle Town, pours black with a small tan head and a reddish tinge. Aroma of roasted malt, light raspberries and some sweetness. Flavour is much more pronounced on the raspberries, blended well with the roasted malt. Syrupy palate, without being too sweet. Solid stuff.

Tap at Elysian Fields, Seattle - 09/11/12. Mid black with a thin tan head. Nose is chocolate, roast malts, a little Belgian yeastiness. Tastes of chocolate, raspeberry is well evident, dark malts, hint of Belgian yeast esters. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a sweet roasty finish. Decent enough, does what it says on the tin, the 7%+ alcohol was very well hidden.
