(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer pours an opaque black body with a big bubble mat of cocoa colored head.
S- The fresh tart raspberries mix with an earthy rich chocolate malt aroma even during the pour.
T- The fresh bright tart raspberries leads to a mellow dark roasted malt flavor that grows as the beer opens. There is a dark cocoa flavor in the finish that has just a touch of sweetness to it. The berry tartness lingers for a moment with some raspberry leaf tea that could be just some soft hop character but adds another dimension.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slightly slippery texture and no real alcohol heat.
O- This beer has a great fresh raspberry flavor and some delicious chocolate flavor with no chocolate nougat character typical of beers with nibs added. Really balanced and easy to drink.
