Another one my wife didn't feel like drinking after my buddy Eric hauled this from Cali, the gratitude...
Pours caramel/chestnut with a finger of tan head. A bit of lacing & zero head retention
S: Much raspberry, nothing else
T: Raspeberries, tartness & a touch of leafy hops up front. A bit of sour cherry & some more tartness as this warms. Finishes tart & dry with more raspberry
MF: Medium bodied, low carbonation
Drinks alright, didn't get much brown ale profile here, Not a bad fruit beer though, could do a few in warm weather, alas the snow is falling. The 2 montha this sat in the fridge ignored didn't help the cause I'm sure

Bottle from Winco. Pour is dark brown, spotty head. Aroma is raspberries, more candy than fruit. More raspberry candy in the taste, along with a nice drying feel from the brown ale. Not as sweet as you might guess from the aroma. Thin mouthfeel.

Raspberry smell. Taste of raspberries is mild and present with a bit of chocolate.

I'm not a big fan of "fruity" beers, but I liked this.

LOOKS: A slightly hazy reddish brown with a finger+ of khaki head that lasts, and leaves some mild lacing.
AROMA: Malty and raspberry sorbet.
TASTE: I think this a bit past it's prime, 'cause the raspberry flavor is really weak, the malt is very mild, as well.
FEEL: A bit watery, just not a lot of body, here. Average carbonation, and pretty dry.
OVERALL: Weak, and totally forgettable.
