16 oz. can purchased at Prost, North Hampton, NH. Slightly hazy gold with standard carbonation levels. The aroma is light Berry, mild straw and hints of citrus.
The flavor has a pale malt backbone with notes of citrus that gives bitterness. The berry is a natural nuance that is found in a subtle manner in the aroma and carries into the flavor. Overall this was very fun to try.

Pours a dark black from a bottle, thin head, some lacing. Bitter chocolate aroma and flavor, I don’t know what oysters taste like, but there’s something else in there. Swimming around...

Got in a BIF from tasterchoice62. 12 ounce can into snifter, no can dating. Pours dense pitch black color with a small dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, smoke, char, herbal, light dark fruit, and roast/toasted earethiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, smoke, char, herbal, light pepper, light dark fruit, and roast/toasted earthiness. Moderate herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, smoke, char, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from roast/hop bitterness that lightly increases through the glass. Light carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, and fairly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent Russian imperial stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind slim white head. Somewhat messy lacing running here and there.
The smell takes on the normal qualities of a citrus/cascade hopped AIPA, grassy/citrus/grapefruit and then they (Foolproof) aged this on some raspberries????, Uh...yeah, guys, good job, woohoo! I dig it. So some sour/tartness comes out from the raspberries (mmmm...smells authentic).
The taste pretty much copies the aroma - bitter to sweet to the dry grassy and then the tart/sour raspberry thing going on. Raspberries do show a light presence in the aftertaste along with the sweetness of the citrus. Subtle dry grassy/raspberry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionable quality about it. Carbonation feels good/low. Nice bitterness as an AIPA hitting my tongue.
Overall, I’d say Foolproof did this one well. I’d have again.

Can from Bert’s Deep black with a smallish off white head. Rich roasty chocolate aroma and flavor with a hint of earthy minerals infused within it. Not to shabby.
