Black pour, with a medium beige head. Aroma is pretty much just cough syrup. As it warms some sweet chocolate comes through with some raspberry jam, and light roast. Body and mouth feel are solid. Finish is again quite sweet, more cough syrup and raspberry jam. This isn’t great, there is no way this raspberry flavour is real, it’s obviously artificial, the end is cloying, and lacks much character. A real mess.

(Draught at Muted Horn, Berlin, 20 July 2018) Dark brown colour, almost black, with creamy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark chocolate, raspberries and coffee. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, slightly tart raspberries and a mild cacao bitterness. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, with a slight raspberry sourness. Nice one.

Bottle from the LCBO. Been sitting on this a while so, it's over a year old. Pours a clear very dark mahogany under a large slow fading khaki head.. Nose is Raspberry, chocolate, raspberry, some coffee, raspberry, brown sugar, raspberry, plum, raspberry, light bread and some raspberry. Light+ brown sugar and molasses sweetness with a medium raspberry tartness and medium- coffee and chocolate bitterness. Mouth is medium and creamy with soft carbonation and a tart finish. This one seems to have divided some folks, but I come down on the 'Pro' side. 8/4/7+/3+/16

750ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a redish dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is quite pleasant with raspberries and chocolate notes. Similar taste. Not bad, but a bit artificial.
