Bottle. Dark brown pour with a large tan head. Smells sweet with chocolate, roast, and light fruit. Very well balanced flavors. Chocolate and roast up front before a raspberry cocoa finish. Smooth and silky. Much better than expected, the level of raspberry really compliments the base beer.

12 ounce bottle. Opaque dark brown color. Frothy tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, raspberry and chocolate. Tangy raspberry and chocolate flavor upfront. Roasted malt backbone. Straight forward and flavorful.

(Thanks, Jim! ozzy70) Bottle. A- Cocoa, metallic, roasty. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, tan head. T- Char, roasty, cocoa. P- Medium body, thin texture, average carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish. O- This seemed a bit off. I get virtually no raspberry and a strong metallic taste. I didn't think it was gonna be on par with their Anniversary versions of Black Butte, but this was below average as it stands.

12 oz, thanks Brenn. Aromas of chocolate, raspberry, caramel, dark bread. Pours very dark brown with a one finger beige head that falls into a ring quickly. Taste is sweet, bitter and tart all rolled into one. Interesting for sure.

Bottle. Pours out a clear deep dark brown with reddish edges Of fresh sweet raspberry aroma, plenty of raspberry in the moderate roast flavors as well. Clean and nothing “off” about it. Keeps the great raspberry flavors without any “fake” or extract notes. Much more fruity than rusty though

12 ounce bottle from Ridgeview Liquor, 7/11/21. Near black, large fizzy brown head, good retention. Aroma of tart berry, roast, chocolate. Taste is cherry, dark fruits, roast. A bit too much fruit takes away from the porter. But decent.

$2.45 bottle, WW. Brown with a hint of redness in there with a soft beige head. Nose is raspberry, chocolate. Raspberry, chocolate, cocoa, light metallic notes. Not a standout by any means, but drinkable.

Dark pour. Trash nose. Thin foam. Raspberry and odd tasting, almost charred taste of ash, cocoa, and bark. Easy carbonation.

Raspberry, cocoa, charred oak, pecan nose. Mahogany, thin tan head. Rancid meat, raspberry, wet dog. Medium body, easy carbonation. I normally dislike fruit in stouts and especially porters, but it seems to help in this one. Something isn't quite right in the base beer.

12 oz. bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Now brings out lightly toasted malt and gentle raspberries. Flavour is much the same, with citrus plenty of raspberries—not very tart nor sweet—and a toasted malt backbone. Structured well, but more like a fruit beer than a porter. Pleasant.
