Modest head production and poor retention, quickly fading to a still, calm surface.

From feet away, the fruit is noticeable. Up close, lovely aromas of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and molasses emerge, along with marshmallow, mint, and toffee.

Creamy and smooth chocolate up front, but the raspberry joins quickly, without overwhelming. From there, the raspberry would mildly influence the rest of the sip, so soft that at times it comes across more as strawberry. Vanilla, caramel, espresso, toffee, vanilla, and lots of chocolate.

Not quite as thick on the palate as some of the variants, but still thick and creamy overall. Drinks very easily considering the high ABV. Lip-smacking, with a long, rich finish.

12 oz. can. Pours deep brown, but not black. Smells of chocolate, brown sugar, and raspberry. Tastes of rich chocolate, lots of sweet brown malts, tingle of raspberry, and fudge. Boozy back end. Quite sweet. Heavy. Tasty in small quantities.
