An extremely rich and complex beer. The addition of raspberries during the fermentation process results in an almost purplish opaque color with a beautiful brown head. Warm chocolate and roasty notes compliment the hop bitterness.

Draught @ OlutExpo 2015

Pours dark brown, almost black with a smooth head. Aroma of raspberry notes, roastiness, malts and syrup. Taste is sweetish, malty and roasty with some raspberry and syrup. Finish is sweetish, roasty and juicy raspberry with some syrupy notes. Okay.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass deep black, nice head. Starts intense malty, oily, earthy, rusty. Light smokey hints. Also hints of liquorice and black coffee. Light bitterness. Only very light raspberry notes. Warming finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Berts. Tastes more like a chocolate covered raspberry than a stout. Aroma is all berries, taste brings in subtle roast malts, but berries still dominate. Sweet and a bit of fruit on the finish.

Fast schwarzes Bier mit einer schönen beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch fruchtig nach Himbeeren, diese überdecken die Röstmalzigkeit, sowie den Kaffee. Geschmack süß röstmalzig, deutliche Himbeeraromen, viel Kaffee, Vanille, erst zum Ende wird das ganze schokoladig, gut!
