16oz can. 11.6% ABV. Big cocoa tone, lesser raspberry. Adjuncts sort of pastrify it all out, detracting from what seems to be a really solid base beer. Just kills any semblance of balance. OK.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark brown pour with a fizzy beige head. Immediate aroma of raspberries, followed by chocolate, boozy notes. Taste is sweet, a small blast of berries, then rich chocolatey flavors. Plums underlay all of this and the ABV comes in near the finish. I'm really starting to like these guys a lot.

I'm not going to lie, I had the lowest of expectations for this given the adjuncts and "quintuple" Belgian traditionalness. But it's delicious, raspberry and chocolate are light, some Belgian esters accompany it. Mad drinkable 12abv. Awesome stuff.
