12oz bottle pours a murky black with some quickly fading off white head. Nose delivers what the name promises, quite a bit of malt and molasses, big berry notes, not sure if it’s easily raspberry, some blueberry and some red grape too, plenty of coffee bean there, some toast. Flavor follows, lots of jammy character, coffee bean, molasses, toast, some chocolate, some red grape. Full bodied, sticky finish. Kitschy, but decent.

Fairly clear golden with a white head. Loads of malt and toasted bread aroma. Medium sweet notes. Medium crispy body. Flavor has plenty of sweet toasted bread, light grass. A decent Pilsner but nothing remarkable.

Bottle. A- Black licorice, tobacco, coffee, roasty, cocoa. A- Black color, dark liquid, brown head. T- Roasty, cocoa, anise, tobacco, coffee, malty. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish. O- This was a pleasant surprise. Didn’t expect much but got a lot. Nice rich and deep flavors with anise and tobacco seeming to come through the most on the nose and a complex taste. Enjoyed this one well enough.

12oz bottle. Opaque black body...thinnish beige head fades out and away after a few minutes. I can dig it, I have a soft spot in my heart for a good raspberry stout. Sweet, and even though this is the "extreme" series, this is a pretty tame and drinkable offering, not overbearing like so many other beers on the shelves. Not over the top fantastic, but enjoyable enough for what it is.

Bottle. A- Cloves, coriander, pepper, spices, lemons, wheat, funk. A- Golden color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Tons of spices, coriander, cloves, wheat P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- I liked this beer and I didn’t like this beer. A bit of funk on the aroma and heavy on the spice. The palate was very spice forward as well. Other than being a little strong it was a pretty good wheat. Certainly not a favorite, but drinkable.
