Pours a dark brown with a slight amber hue. Head is khaki colored. The aroma consists of raspberries or raspberry jam, chocolate and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium. Nice malt backbone with raspberry flavor layered throughout. Some caramel and jammy raspberries. Hint of nuttiness and a kiss of hop bitterness toward the back dries things out a little. Raspberry flavor isn't too sweet at all.

Pouring a cellar temp bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a rich dark brown with some mahogany highlights on the edges of the glass. Minimal creamy beige head foams up and remains a thin surface layer.
Aroma is mild with raspberry and chocolate almost like a fruit filled candy, maybe the fruit paste kind not the gel.
First sip reveals a very light and thin body and tiny gentle rolling carbonation.
Flavor is similar to the nose, with a mild overall profile, but I get some roasted malt and dry baker's chocolate. These flavors roll to sweet raspberry notes. Finish is also a little dry.
Not a flawed brew but not overly interesting. It held up pretty well over time, but I wonder if it was a little more bold fresh?
