From old notes.
A - Poured deep red and bright. One finger of beige head with minimal lace and a half finger of retention.
S - Mild berries, some roast, tobacco, berries our more later. A little chocolate too.
T - Sweet berries, a little roast, chocolate. Finished nice.
M - Decent carbonation, medium to full body, and a dry finish.
O/D - Raspberry was clearly there and played well with the porter. Nice and balanced between the two elements. Not my favourite style, but this one was done well.

Appearance: very dark brown, almost black; thick, frothy, but not dense head the colour of mocha
Aroma: black currant, ripe raspberry; something sharp and acidic
Taste & Mouthfeel: hit of bitter chocolate at first which turns to something reminiscent of dark cherry or raspberry chocolate cake (think black forest); somewhat watery texture and flavour, doesn't have great staying power, possibly due to lack of hops; tart bitterness in finish which amplifies over time; a little short on carbonation
Overall: initial flavour is great, but its missing the solidarity and backbone to stick around and maintain impact; could do better in stout form

A: Deep ruby with a slight amber hue in it. Head poured 1/2 inch think and then went down to about 1/32" It clings to the glass.
S: When I first poured it and the head was still about 1/4 inch I could pick up on roasted notes, subtle chocolate and nuts. Once the head went down there was now hints of raspberries (raspberry jam).
T: Taste like raspberry dark chocolate bar. Raspberries and dark malts are balance together, sort of like a tango together. The end finishes with a slight hop bitterness and raspberries. The raspberry flavour is very complementary and does not compete.
M: Highly carbonated, a bit thin but yet pleasant.
O: Now I know why it took me 2 months to find it at the LCBO. This is a well balanced and well flavoured raspberry porter. My only complaint is that the carbonation is a bit high for my taste but I do thin it is within style (high side)
