Raspberry version, enjoyed at home on a Monday night, gifted to me from a friend. Better than the original. Basically the same as this beverage but with raspberries added. Good stuff.

16 ounce can into snifter; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours dense pitch black color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy dark tan head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Awesome appearance. Aromas of big dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, light vanilla, light smoke/char, herbal, light pine, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of roast/bready malt, cocoa/coffee, and moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, light vanilla, light smoke/char, herbal, light pine, and roast/toasted earthiness. Moderate herbal/pine hop and roast/char bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, smoke, char, light vanilla, herbal, pine, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, cocoa/coffee, and moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice roast malt/hop bitter/sweet balance and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from roast/hop bitterness as well. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, and moderately sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding imperial coffee stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, cocoa/coffee, and moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.
