Bottle courtesy of linusb. Pours blackish dark brown with a frothy and fluffy pale mocha head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of sticky lacing and trace on the glass. Smell is malty and fruity with roasted malts, toasted cereal, toasted oatmeal, dark bread, instant coffee, dark chocolate, raspberries in milk, moist soil and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and fruity. Mouthfeel is soft, round, slightly velvety, slightly astringent, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with mealy malts and raspberries in milk. Very mealy in the malt base which I don’t like at all. Raspberry character and lactose elements are on the other hand better, actually quite good, but the malts just ruin everything for me. --- Beer merged from original tick of Raspberry Temptress on 12 Mar 2016 at 00:42 - Score: 7. Original review text: Oatmeal with raspberry jam and milk. Like the raspberry character but hate the grainy steeped cereal malt base.

Sampled from bottle @ Ratebeer Belgian Winter Gathering 2016. Opaque pitch black color, average to medium sized light brown head. Aroma is malts, oak / wood, wood tart, dark malts light vanilla. Taste malts, light bourbon, dark malts, a bit more bourbon, only a slight hint of caramel and dark chocolate, nice bitterness. In the end, the texture is quite thin for an 11% ABV beer, the bourbon is present but not to a degree I would have liked, body is average to decent, carbonation is decent to medium. In the end not as good as I had expected.

On tap at Bangers. Minty, candy cane goodness, ordered specifically to go with dessert. Mint dominates aroma and taste, but not enough to mute the other characteristics. Not for everyone, but in the right place, at the right time....

12 oz goblet draft at The City Tavern in Dallas, Texas. The pour is a dark brown black, opaque with a well formed one inch khaki head. The aroma is big roast, sweet caramel, dark chocolate and finishes with evident alcohol. The taste is strong roasted malt, caramel vanilla milk sweetness, licorice, and closes out with an integrated alcohol to the finish. The palate is medium to heavy bodies with soft natural carbonation and the roast alcohol sweetish finish. Solid.
