1 Liter bottle shared with Zinister and KAggie97 at the "Double Tree Houston" tasting. Pour is very deep black with a one inch off white head. Aroma is cocoa sweetness with a touch of alcohol (odd for a 5.7% beer) and some cedar (reminded me of a Habitrail - more pleasant than you would imagine). I can honestly say that I have never smelled a beer that has this much variety going on in the nose. Just weird, weird, weird. Taste is creamy porter with coffee roast and then a blast of the very sweet / tart raspberries. Near the end, there is the cocoa powder sweetness. Somehow, with all of the above going on, the Palate was really thin. An extraordinarily unique beer, and I really have no idea how to rate this.

Dark black body with some ruby hints and a small light brown head. Sweet raspberry and cocoa aroma with some roasted malt. Sweet raspberry flavor with some light cocoa and a light sour hint.

RBSG07. From 32 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a brown head. Aroma is almost spiced with a strange off note I cannot make out (might be the raspberry). Strong notes of liqourice. Flavour is dark, dry and annis. Thick mouthfeel. Finish is dry annis.

Pours deep brown with a thin tan head. Big aroma of raspberry pie right out of the oven. The chocolate comes through behind the big fruitiness. Just lots and lots of raspberry fruit in the aroma. The flavor starts with a slight fruit tartness followed by raspberry preserves. Just like the aroma the chocolate and roasted malts are just strong enough to slice through the fruit. I like the taste but it seems pretty far from a Porter in style.

Clear deep dark porter with reddish hues and a thick moka head. Aroma of raspberry jam, and chocolate spread, and fresh black roasted coffee. In mouth, a lightly sour porter, due to the fruits, with light bitter chocolate, an interesting marriage. Tasted Jan 2007, with probstk.

Light raspberry aroma, and I perceived this without realizing raspberry was an ingredient so that did that part right. Aroma with cocoa. Flavor is raspberry syrup and chocolate. 6 4 7 3 13 Tasted again, July 2009. Good raspberry flavor with light cocoa, and a little sourness. Mildly roasted.

Pour is a dark black with a small tan head. Aroma is berry and chocolate. Flavor is much of the same but the artificial berry stands out. Berry and porter? Who thought of this? Not real good and you don’t want more than one of these in a evening.

Bottled. Pours a nice sweetly tinged raspberry smell. Deep brown to black body under a thin head of pinprick bubbles. First taste impression is tart raspberries. Then comes cocoa, like unsweetened Droste. From that point comes a good chocolate smell. The fruit and cocoa kind of over whelm what would be a nice porter profile: instead of dark rich porter malts with chocolate roasties, I get a fine fruit beer. That’s my opinion, anyway. Not to style, but a sweet little beer that edges toward a lambic quality.

Deep brown, nearly black pour, with a compact, light tan head - somewhat mild aroma, with hints of cocoa, roastiness, artificial "fruit" - medium bodied - starts with a gentle, semi-sweet chocolate flavor - a tart, nearly sour raspberry flavor creeps its way in - the mild sweetness and swelling tartness don’t seem to balance that well - finish is dry, with lingering raspberries that are much more enjoyable once the sourness settles - a decent attempt at making something different, but nothing all that special.

Deep mostly opaque brown body, medium/thick cream head. Lots of raspberry in the aroma, with a bit of chocolate and roasted malt, but dominated by the fruit. Raspberry skin and sugarless pulp flavor, poorly balanced by cocoa and roasted malts, which barely cut the raspberry acidity and slight sourness of the body. Thin in body and poorly developed for a porter; this is instead perhaps best described as a "fruit beer" with dark malts. Would have been better with a strong chocolate malt backdrop to balance the raspberry. Alas...
