Can. Opaque dark brown beer, small darkish tan head. Quite a light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, mellow dark malts cream. Was looking forward to the port barrel aspect here but the obvious raspberry completely dominates. Raspberry and raspberry jam, no raspberry tartness, which I'm glad off. Smooth finish. A nice raspberry Impy but sadly, nothing more than that.

Fun and tasty stout with fruit. Not really balanced, but somehow it works. Smooth, boozy and soft stout with sharp, fruity and jammy raspberry. Hint of tartness, some tannins from the wood, old port, but also sweetness from the stout. Just a tad thin.
