Bottle found somewhere in Nanaimo. Has a medium dark brown body with decent brown foam on top, average smell of vegetably barley and baker's chocolate on the nose. Flavour is chunky dark barley and chocolate with vague sharp chili sort of balancing out the sweetness. Chewy mouthfeel, nice and full at least. An okay stout, good and sweet, nice texture.

Pinkish. Thin head. On the nose, the raspberry shows through, and there's some phenols and cardboard. On the palate, there's raspberry. Thin, no kolsch character, definitely a bit of cardboard. I wouldn't call this is a good beer.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out some phenols, with subdued raspberries. Flavour is loaded with phenols and artificially sweet raspberry syrup. Too phenolic and artificial. Why would you produce this? Awful.
