Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Tinus. Couleur acajou, col beige fin. Arôme de mûres, fruité avec ce bouquet de fruits terreux faisant abstraction des fausses notes fruitées. Palais garde ce côté fruité framboise, mûres, note terreuse sur une pointe de douceur mais le tout reste plus centré sur une fine note aigre avec des houblons nobles laissant une brève amertume.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Sly Fox Black Raspberry Reserve (by Sly Fox Brewing Company):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3/5
11/VIII/2012 75cl bottle @ RBBSG - (2012-913) Thanks to Tinus for sharing the bottle!
Clear ruby red beer, no head, dissipates immediately. Aroma: lots of raspberry jam. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of raspberry jam, little sweet, pretty bitter touch as well. Aftertaste: little bitter, rapsberry, bit lemony, little metallic. Not a huge fan of cooking the fruits with the wort, I prefer beer which is blended with "raw" fruits.

Bottle from a trade with watson1977. Pours clear maroon color with pinkish purple head. Aromas of sweet raspberries. Slightly tart raspberry flavor. I was expecting it to be sweeter and more syrupy. It was crisp and refreshing, reminded me of a flavored seltzer only much better. Light body with effervescent carbonation. Thanks Kerry.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Shop Rite - Hoboken, 8/26/11
Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet and slightly tart, there's not much going on here besides the fruit
Appearance: Pours a cloudy reddish-brown color with a big fizzy head that dissipates really quickly
Flavor: The flavor starts fairly sweet up-front, and turns quickly into a tart, acidic mid-to-late flavor
Palate: A somewhat airy/thin feel, and with an overly fizzy carbonation that hurts drinkability significantly
Overall Impression: I didn't get the best impression off the bat here, since this one was a total gusher out of the bottle, and as I drank it my impression didn't improve all that much. I wouldn't recomend drinking this one unless you really enjoy carbonation and medoicre fruit flavor.

Big Top Beer Distro: Pours a framboise color with a maroon head. Aroma is of raspberries and a hint of booze. Taste has the raspberry at the front, but it peters out to a dry back by the end. Might actually not be sweet enough. I think that if they used some syrup it would have been a good thing. Kind of not enough body and not enough beer taste to make this a worthwhile brew.

Bomber from Ölbutikken shared with friends 2011-07-19 Göteborg AR: rich aromas of raspberry juice, very fruity and sweet AP: hazy stawberry juice (saft), high fizzy/frothy pinkish/puple head F: watery raspberry juice, wee tartness, wee sugar or sweetener - boring!
