Comments: As the name implies this is a raspberry beer, the aroma and taste are overwhelming. There’s also a chocolaty flavor under the raspberry. And it’s a porter that pours out in a rosy copper-black. I like raspberry, I like chocolate, and I like porter so this beer gets point for all those things. On the other hand though, it fails to go beyond the novelty to approach a complex, satisfying beer.

Comments: A golden bubbly beer with a thick creamy head. I detected a scent of melon and despite being a bitter this beer tasted malty and mellow. In fact, I thought it tasted rather like a lager instead of an ale. The head sustains while drinking, leaving a lot of lacing on the glass. Not bad. Very smooth if not too exciting.
