Can. Reddish amber color with medium beige-ish head. Aroma of artificial raspberry, caramel. Sweet is sweet, very sweet with artificial raspberries, caramel, unfortunately no dark malt, no coffee, no roasted notes. Alcohol is well hidden, which is only one positive on this beer. No porter, too much in sweet side. Not good.
