Pours thick head. Strong flavor of raspberry. Sadly, just extract. Leaves a thick, sticky mouthfeel with carbonation. The concept is good but the finish is very weak. Feel more like you are drinking a soda than a beer. Refreshing, good for the warm FL summer.

Light brown with slight haze. Plummy aroma with light toasty notes. Fairly husky body, with light chocolate/fudge accents. Very much like a hot chocolate powder in the finish.

Courtesy of Degarth. This beer just stated “BEER” on the label. Not sure what the aim was.
12oz bottle pours near copper with off white head. The aroma has some nice maltiness, roasted malts and some caramelized sweetness. I’m not really picking up any hops. The taste is caramel, crystal and mildly roasty malts but pretty thin and weak overall. I get almost no sense of hoppiness in there that makes me question whether or not they were ever added to the boil.

Draught out the side of a car: Poured a murky orange yellow with an off white head. The aroma is wheat and spices, also some sweetness. The taste was harvesty and sweet with nice wheat finish.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours clear amber with tan head. Doesn’t look as dark as most porters I’ve tried. The aroma is roasted malts, molasses, mild caramelization and no real sign of even faint burnt malts. The taste is mildly roasty with some just as mild burnt malts, faint earthiness, some kettle caramelization and notes of grainy malts. Pretty nice but not much of a porter influence as I think a porter would taste like, in my opinion.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours clear copper with off white to tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, sweet malts, sweet caramelization mixing with pine hops. I get a bit of buttered bread in there too. The taste has milder maltiness than the nose led onto to go along with some mild roastiness, faint nuttiness, sweet kettle caramelization and weak pin hop bitterness.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma has a nice crystal malt influence to go with a faint noble hop sense. The flavor has a mild carbonation enhanced roastiness, some faint tart malt astringency and wafer thin notes of something resembling hops. The experience ends with mild malts and a lingering vague hop bitterness.
