Bottle. Hazy, brown color with hardly any head. Aroma is funky, not much raspberry to the smell. Slightly fruity, no artificial raspberry to this at all. Taste is very sour with hints of fruit, woody chocolate and old grains, really a large amount of natural raspberry taste.

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown with no head. Aromas of vinegar and acidic chocolate. Flavours of powdery dark chocolate and acidic hard to describe berries. Not a stand out for me...

Rating #6600: Dark brown coloured body with a great opaque pure black glow and a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall light brown head. Amazing aroma of raspberries, roasted malt, raisins, prunes, light tart cherries and citrus and a good super strong raspberry scent. Medium-bodied; Rich raspberry flavour with a nice tart and slightly soured flavour showing a touch of lemons and limes and ending with a robust roasted malt and light oatmeal flavour. Aftertaste is pure smooth and tart raspberries with a good flavour and rich complexity with some nice light sugars, a good roasted malt flavour that is on the light side and a robust raspberry and fruit flavour that hits all the right notes. Overall, a great and very interesting beer with the raspberry notes and a touch of the roasted malt and oatmeal, where if you had your eyes closed, you might even think this was a Berliner Weisse. Great to sample, especially at a 'milestone' rating. Great to sample and well worth trying to find if you like Fruit Beers, Sours, Porters or really anything at all! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 10-June-2017 for US$11,25 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 27-January-2018.

Aus der Flasche im 2017-12 getrunken. Eine spannende Bierstil-Mischung aus Framboise und Porter. Die süffiger Porteraromen treffen hier auf eine schöne Himbeerfrucht, deutliche Säure und ein kräftiges, holziges Himbeerkernearoma. Letzteres macht dieses Ale nicht gerade leicht, denn der Einfluß der Himbeerkerne sorgt hier für eine adstringierende Bitterkeit. Ich hatte dieses schon mal vor 1 1/2 Jahren im Sommer im Glas und muß feststellen das es mir damals im Sommer besser beschmeckt hat. Also nicht unbedingt ein Winterbier. Trotzdem ein spannendes Ale.
