This one pours a medium bodied raisin brown in color with only a slight off white lacing around my glass. The nose is certainly different. It features a sweet, jammy red raspberry upfront followed by raisins, prunes, plum, and a dark and bready Belgian malt. That's about as complex as the nose can be for this style. It's really impressive. The flavors are a nice mix too. There is some tart raspberry with some fruity sweetness upfront with bready malt, red grape character, some prune, and almost some raisin bread. It's enough to make you think about each sip. It really is pretty complex. It drinks a little light in body for the style. I like this one. It isn't spectacular but for $10.99 for a 375ml I can't complain at all.

Unknown vintage; drank 2/20/15 @ the Yarchives.

Dark purple appearance.

Tan head; nice lace.

Raspberry jam & a hint of smoke in the nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Tart raspberry flavor up front; smoke & raspberry jam on the finish. Some red wine booziness emerged as this warmed.

Complex & enjoyable, if a touch too tart for me.
