Not much raspberry. Or chocolate. Thin and watery.

Poured from the bottle into a Portsmouth Brewery globe glass.
Deep walnut brown body, totally opaque. A good forming creamy head, with a light cocoa brown color and only about one finger tall. Good laced and thick bubbled collar, with some leggy thin lacing along the edges. Very nice.
Great bouquet on this beer. Like a good quality fruited chocolate bar. Dark hints of bitter chocolate and raspberry candied fruit. Chewy roasted malt action with a fresh milled grain sense, if a bit subdued by a strong fruit.
Palate comes a nice light quality for the style but still a little wet. Good light grainy action, with a sense of roasting dryness and bitterness. Good finish of drip coffee and raspberry powdered fruit. Mild skim milk finish with much of the chocolate action kind of waning a bit. Moderately carbonated, and has lots of easy drinkability.
Overall not too bad, but leaves some of it's greatness waiting and leaving after some time. I bet they serve this on nitro in the pub, and that I think would make the beer real enjoyable, if not more so.
