Draft at the brewery tap during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear brown with a creamy, tan head. Rich dark chocolate is obvious, and it is cut nicely with juicy raspberry tang. Great nuance and integration. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Just a little warmth in the finish, some present sweetness, and lots more blended cocoa and fleshy raspberry. Lovely gear.
