Tap at SARA. Pours opaque mahogany, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is initially heavy roast, followed quickly by raspberry, hints of ashtray. Flavor is light plus sweet, .light bitter, chocolate truffle with raspberry filling, but one of those grown up kind with lightly sweet cacao. Lightish body, bit of acidity. Tasty, but not really my thing.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a medium light roast notes with some light chocolate. Nice raspberry character that works well with the base porter. The oatmeal adds a nice cream note. Pours dark brown with some light reddish hues and a small, thick tan head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is nice with some medium light sweetness. Light oatmeal notes with medium roast and a bit lighter chocolate notes. Moderate raspberry character that works nicely. Medium low bitterness and a fairly dry finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice beer. The porter dominates but the raspberry adds a nice background character that works really well.
