Poured from a bottle into a small glass taster
L: Bare minimum dark brown head that disappears immediately, no lacing. Bit more of a head once it warms
S: not as in my face as I expected. Chocolate fountain and raspberries, syrupy sweet, not boozy. Sweetness grows as it warms
T: same as the nose, at first raspberry is so assertive it tastes artificial. As it warms chocolate comes through more, but a bitterness grows as well and overall it gets somewhat muddled. Medium finish, lingering taste probably my favorite part
F: somewhat light body, mouth coating but not thick. Middle of the road carbonation for a stout like this, for me
O: decent but the raspberry makes me think of artificial filling in gas station chocolate, plus the growing bitterness isn’t ideal
