Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is chocolate forward with light roast, leather and tobacco notes. Light oak and bourbon with a bit of alcohol spice. Medium to medium light raspberry notes with other dark fruit present as well. Pours black with a medium large, thick, creamy, mocha head that exhibits good retention as it recedes to a thin layer that lingers. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with moderately strong chocolate malt notes. Some medium light bourbon, light oak and light alcohol spice. Moderate bitterness. Light roast, toffee and leather notes. Moderate raspberry notes with hints of cherry, plum and raisin. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied and a bit silky with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice stout. FiftyFifty does a good job moderating the amount of fruit they dump into these beers allowing the base stout to really shine. The raspberry is fading though, so its best to drink this sooner rather than later.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a very dark brown with beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong berry, roast, bourbon, wood. Thick mouth, chewy, very sweet, raspberry, wood, nice booze, really enjoyed this.

Tap @FiftyFifty. POurs opaque black, small tan head, some lacing. Aroma is bourbon, cocoa, vanilla notes. Flavor is - yep, there is the raspberry - fully sweet, light plus bitter, raspberries, cocoa, bourbon, vanilla. Medium plus body, creamy mouthfeel. Just enough raspberry to enhance, not enough to overpower and ruin the base beer. Well done.
