"being that this is a pretty nice, nutty brown underneath the raspberries, this is a pretty enjoyable beer. One to get light beer drinkers to switch to the dark side. "

" Brown cola body complete with a long lasting tan cap. Very sour aroma with raberry notes, whole thing comes across kind of soapy. Nope its not soap its baby powder and perfume. Sent is strong and fake. Flavour is better than the aroma nice and malty with fresh raspberries. Bitter finish with coffee lingering in the aftertaste. These raspberries seem so fresh. Great tasting brew but it smells so bad. Very complex I can only describe half of what I’m tasting.

[3] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/24/2008 2:51:51 AM)
"Poured out a creamy light tan head that goes to a skim but still leaves good lacing on top of the ultra deep red with brown brew. Nice and attentive aroma of very fresh raspberries and roasted malts, slight nuttiness and even slighter chocolate. Funny, the raspberries don't seem that fresh any more. Excellent flavour! Nuts, raspberry, chocolate and roasted malts all mooshed up to perfection. Hey, there's even some hops here and they don't ruin the beer. Medium bodied or a bit more. Decent beer for sure and maybe a go to brew when looking for a raspberry brew that's not called Lindemans.

[4] Review by killpineapple from Inland Empire, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/21/2008 5:20:19 PM)
"Nice deep red/brown color, like a dark cherry. Nice raspberry aroma with a hint of chocolate. A little thin in the mouth, though very fizzy; an outstanding mix of nutty/chocolaty brown taste with a rich tangy raspberry. as stated before here, this isn't a stereotypical fruit beer where the emphasis is on the fruit, but it is a very nice meld. This combination would make a great keg party beer for both fruit drinkers and dark drinkers. i might wanna clone this one."

[5] Review by Criasia from fairfield, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/14/2008 5:46:30 PM)
"This brew poured with the same carbonation of cola and a slightly watered down pepsi appearence. With all of this carbonation, there was little head. A very sweet brown ale flavor with a subtle rasberry and chocolate taste. The mouthfeel was thin, and the sroma was really quite sweet. this brew overall was a delight to drink and would gladly have it again."
