Deep, dark color with a thick and creamy light tan head. Bold presence of raspberries on the nose; faint presence of cocoa. Mild chocolate flavor interspersed with gently sweet raspberries; slightly booziness in the background. Heavy body; silky and marshmallow-like; dull, flat sweetness with a touch of berry brightness; alcohol dryness cuts throughout.
The raspberries are the highlight here. The beer delivers a spongy and pleasant mouthfeel, perhaps a tad weak, while the flavor generally comes across favorably. The alcohol content is noticeable yet fairly well tamed by the malt base and raspberries.

Looks and aroma were great. Dark, thick with raspberry aroma. Flavor was mild but good. Raspberry was the most present flavor but this was certainly not what I would call "heavy." If this had some more traditional "stout" flavors...malt, chocolate, bourbon, it would have been incredible.

Look: Pitch black. Three fingers of thick tan head with excellent retention.
Smell: Surprisingly hard to detect. Mild note of sour raspberries backed up by a little hoppiness.
Taste: Unusual. Raspberry is the dominant flavor, but it's again quite mild. Not very sweet OR dry. More like cardboard.
Mouthfeel: Thick, full body with good carbonation.
Overall: A promising beer let down by an unusual, weak flavor.
