Location: Bottle shared at Max and Andy's Tasting, 2/28/15
Aroma: The nose is on the sweet side, chocolate, a little roast, and some fruity notes
Appearance: Pours a brown-black color with a decent sized brown head and lace
Flavor: The flavor is medium sweet, very similar to the aroma component-wise
Palate: It has a pretty good overall mouthfeel, lighter for the style, but not particularly watery
Overall Impression: This is probably not a beer I'd want to drink regularly, but as a once in a while type of thing, it works fairly well.

Somehow I never rated this one while I was spending as much time in Houston as I have, then it shows up at a tasting in NJ. As for the beer, it is very solid, with a good flavor combination. Clean and hoppy, slightly boozy. Not too bad

Bottle. Pours mahogany, small tan head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is raspberries and cocoa. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, tons of raspberry, skins and stems, chocolate. Lightish body, high carb. Raspberry stouts seldom turn my crank, and this one is no exception.
