16 ounce bottle into a tulip snifter. Had 8/23/18.
Pours dark and opaque, with a two inch foamy head with good retention and some foamy lacing. Aromas of malt, cocoa, peanuts, chocolate, caramel, some vanilla, light raspberries. The flavor displays the add- ins more distinctly, but they are not as prominent or intense. Raspberries, malt, peanuts, sea salt, cocoa, vanilla, chocolate. Pick up a little sourness, maybe from the berries? Smooth, a good full body, well carbonated.
Good, but at the bottom of the current variants. The raspberries are not intense enough or good enough to compensate for how the other add- ins are affected, especially in the flavor. Creaminess is missing here, too. Still, a fun one to drink, and certainly worth a try.

I actually liked the raspberry, giving the sweet and salty candy base a cool fruity liqueur to bounce off of. Still incredibly sickly sweet, yet there is a complexity in the sweetness. Smell gets all of those candy flavors without the cloying sweetness, nougat, raspberry, milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel, etc. Feel is sticky and sugary. Fun addition to the fun size series

500mL bottle. Dark brown colored body with a bubbly light brown head that seems to have a slight pinkish tinge to it; head disappears quickly. Complex aroma: chocolate, peanut, raspberry, caramel. Sweet flavors & candy bar like with notes of caramel, chocolate, salted peanut, raspberry, faint vanilla. Full body, creamy & smooth, lower carbonation, sweet finish. Good variation of Fun Size - I like the raspberry addition.

Jet black look. Lots of raspberry up front and dark chocolate on the back end. Not syrupy at all. Very thin finish. It’s alright not great. Like some of the other fun sizes much better.

500ml bottle released 8/4/2018 and poured into a pint glass shows a deep dark brown oily body with lighter cola colors showing light at the edge floating a short-lived 1/4in mocha colored head.
Aromas are dominated by raspberry, with cocoa and hints of peanut as it warms.
Flavors match with the tart raspberry taking the considerable lead.
Mouthfeel is creamy and full.
Overall a nice sweet stout, but not the best version of the Fun Size series.
