Jet black, large mocha head. Aroma is intense roast, cocoa, soy, and burnt coffee, with earthy barrel, bourbon, and some vanilla. Honestly, I cannot find the raspberries at all. Mouthfeel is oily thick, with a lively, yet velvet carb. Medium to high bitterness. More of the same intense roast, and barrel in the finish, with a touch of fruity sweetness. A good wimpy stout, raspberries are hiding.
