    Last weekend I had an imperial milk stout BA with raspberries at 4 hands brewery called Downfall. I really loved it, and hadn't had a stout flavored with raspberries in quite some time. Anyone else a fan of these? What are some other stouts made with raspberries on the market?

    Dragon's Milk Reserve. Also, try floating a New Glarus raspberry Tart in Murphy's Stout. My wife discovered that. You can also float Raebus in any stout, especially a coffee or milk stout.

    Mothers has a raspberry variant of Imperial three blind mice. There's still some left at my local grocer. It's not bad.

    Had a sample of the raspberry version of Brothers' Resolute imperial stout on tap when I was up at the brewery way back at the start of the year. I haven't had any other stouts with raspberries in the myet, but this was definitely good -- really had a "raspberry jam" sort of thing going on (popping in from behind all the dark roasty stout flavors, of course), not that weird artificial-seeming flavoring like other raspberry beers I've had.

    Brau Brothers Red Velvet Moo Joos, one of my favorite stouts. This is only distributed regionally and tap only. But wow!

    Millstream Raspberry Latte Stout. This also regional. Excellent but not quite as good as the Red Velvet Moo Joos.

    Widmer Brothers has their Raspberry Russian Imperial Stout. I think 2013 was just released.

    OP, make your own using Founders Rubaeus. Something along 70% stout:30% Rubaeus. I recall folks doing with this good results.

    Wow, surprised no one mentioned DuClaw's Double Naked Fish that is a rasberry stout brewed with chocolate rasberry coffee. I just had it and reveiwed it on my comp, but haven't posted it yet. It tastes like chocolate liqour and smells like raspberries and chocolate cake with cherries in it. It's awesome! Only problem is you get those mostly around V-Day and this one is released around then, February, so you would have to wait. There might still be a shop that has kept it around since then though, which is what happened to me and I snatched it up.

    Ive only had Big Lushious and Dragons Milk reserve, both completely disgusting and tasted like cough syrup.

    From Amager with Love is a great beer. You should see if you can find any bottles of that out in the world.

    Founders Big Lushious was a solid stout that had a good raspberry taste. In fact, I bought the last bottle of it at my local bottle shop the other day, so I will assume that some stores in your area may have it still.

    Skip the dragons milk. Though I'm a big fan of the original and most reserve variations, the lemon raspberry was gross. Bourbon barrel stout plus lemonade. Just no.
