Bottle. 2005 vintage. Tag says should have been consumed in four months. That said, pours black with tan head. Nose of strong raspberry, which dominates. Some chocolate malt and vanilla. Taste is raspberry and chocolate malt. Light body.

Bottle was bought at brewery in 2004. I was waiting for a special occasion, in this case, our first anniversary of dating. Cork was dried and broke...was a little afraid the beer would be off. A clear dark stout with a super thick moka head. A wonderful raspberry aroma, pungeant, with sweet milk chocolate. In mouth, balance of sweetness of the fruit with torrefied coffee, light lactic notes. Wonderful beer. A surprise that it survived four years storing.

Hand bottled 750 ml (beer drippings included)...much thanks to Mike the sales rep and Wayne (njdevilz69) for sharing this nonlocal brew with me....it poured a rich chocolate brown with a tan head...aromas consisted of cappuccino and ripe raspberries...smooth as silk on the first sip, then it changes to a thinner feel towards the end...almost non-exsistant carbonation....on the palate, the raspberry bursts through the bitter chocolate presence...it finishes dry and with maple and raspberry seeds...thanks again guys!
