On tap at Frequentem Brewing in Canandaigua, NY.

This one pours a dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like dried raspberries, milk chocolate, vanilla, and roasted malt.

Fruited stouts are hard to do well, but Frequentem did it here. The raspberry is light and subtle, almost like a dried raspberry fruit leather sort of thing, with loads of milk chocolate. It doesn't get too sweet because of the deft use of the raspberries.

This is medium bodied, pretty creamy, and rich, with a very nice drinkability.

I bet this would do very well in barrels - maybe they'll consider that down the line. It was very tasty.
