Flaska från Beergium. Snygg ID med fin hallonarom och med hallonkärnor i smaken som jag gillar. Men smakerna gifter sig inte riktigt. Gott.

Bomber shared by TJ on 12/10/17, thanks!
Clear, auburn-maroon-tinted mahogany. Small, light tan head shows low retention.
Light, bright, poignant, acidic raspberry is quite seedy and well-attenuated. Fudge and vanilla fill in the rest of the aroma quickly and you definitely get the sense of a chocolate covered raspberry. Doesn't feel punchy or cloying, either. Light liqueur and dark chocolate with prune and dry caramel on the finish. No messy esters or hot alcohol.
In the mouth it's super dry, kind of surprisingly so, with tobacco notes and raspberry acidity. Heavy baker's chocolate/cocoa character and light vanilla-caramel on the end. Very sticky ending balances the acidity and dry, dark chocolate character. Low carbonation is a bit fizzy/peppery, but the beer shows ample malt body and an overall softness of texture. Very nicely concealed alcohol.

so now something to flush away the terribel "Piraat Rum version", Bomber, pours black with a full light brown head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, sweet, some forest fruits, nice. Tast is soft, roasted malts, nice bitterness, alcohol, forest fruits in stead of raspberry, some fruit sourness, deep roasted character with some nice chocolate, above average body, soft carbonation. personal not a huge fan of sour fruits in heavy stouts, however the fruit sourness is modest therefore quite nice.

(Draught at Man In the Moon, Stockholm, 30 Nov 2017) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, raspberries, mocha and a touch of sour cherries. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, liquorice, tart raspberries, mocha, black coffee and a generous cacao bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Perfect raspberry and chocolate dessert (coffee included). Very nice.

650ml bottle at Matt's. Pours a very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is berry-ish with roasted malt and burnt malt on the back. Similar taste. Not bad.
