Bottle. Something about this beer was just too artificial for me, if it was brewed with real raspberries then maybe it was just my tastebuds. The aroma however was excellent.

Bottle. Aroma of shampoo. Light brown lacing. Nice blend of raspberries with a coffee taste. Starbucks could run with this.

From bottle to glass, looks like a darker brown pepsi...brown sugar head...---aroma---raisin and roasted malt, rich and roasted malt....---flavor---prunes and burnt caramel malts...medium body, the presence of clove (not flavor)...seems to add a bite to the finish....reminds me of a liquid gingersnap cookie...alcohol 8% huh?...can’t tell except in the buzz factor....sediment in glass also

Bottle. I appreciate the taste, and it kind of reminds me of a Flemish sour. Not my thing, but it seems an admirable effort.

This one sounded like a nice idea that just did not manage to work out. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma was tangy, sour and slightly roasty. No real fruitiness. The flavor was bitter and roasty with a moderate coffee element and a tangy off flavor that I can only assume was supposed to be berry. The finish is dry and tangy. Disappointing.

Pours brown with red highlights...light brown foam....smells of malts and vanilla...tastes bland and way too heavy for the flavor, as if the body was lighter, the flavor may represent properly, but the body is thin...hmmm so to me this beer is improper.....still nice to drink, but i’ve had way better Scottish ales....so try again Otter Creek Brewing

22 oz bottle-pours a rich dissipating tan head and dark mahogany color. Aroma is dark malt-cocoa powder, dark fruit, some sharpness. Taste is sweet dark malt-some sharpness-cocoa powder/licorice, oak barrel-whisky like, dark fruit, musty, roasty, secondary/faint hops bite, some alcohol. OK carbonation. First half pint a bit rough to my taste, then mellowed and became more enjoyable.
