Bottle# 269 shared by Mike. Thanks big brother! 4 oz. poured in an FFF Rastal on August 18th, 2012.

A - Similar coloring to Robert the Bruce albeit notably thinner. Very little tan head with minute lacing.

S - Raspberries, no doubt about it. Very light oak and rye, but not at all rounded. Can barely detect the base beer in the aroma.

T - Lots of front-end effervescence, mid shows the raspberry off, rear gets the robert maltiness with a bit of rye bread. Here I don't detect the whiskey barrel.

M - Medium body, high carbonation, semi-sweet finish. Fair bit of alcohol warming.

D - Disappointing. I wish the barrel made a bigger impact and the raspberry lesser so. The aroma shows almost none of the base beer and the taste isn't consistent. Random uninspired release here.

Thanks bstyle
Bottle 476/579

A - Pours a dark brown with a fizzy tan head that fades quickly.

S - Sweet candy, cherry and raspberry.

T - Candy cherry, booze and raspberry. Fake-ish, but welcoming.

D - Good carbonation with a heavy body.

O - Candy cherry and raspberry dominates, not overly sweet, almost artifical tasting, but still enjoyable.

Bottle poured into a FFF tulip

A - Dark brown with a slight ruby red hints. There is a small white head that sits on top

S - Sweet, syrupy raspberries that smells slightly artificial with a rye bourbon kick. Slight maltiness that I'd expect from the Robert the Bruce.

T - Sweet caramel, bready malt with sweet raspberries. There is definitely some templeton Rye barrel presence that you get which gives it a soft spicyness that lingers in the finish.

MF - Thick, sticky body that fits the flavor profile well. There is a slight barrel astringency that lingers in the finish.

O - This is new twist on Robert the Bruce that adds a new dimension wiith the sweeter raspberries and a slight rye presence. Worth tracking down this beer if you want to try the new twist. I do wish it is done in Bourbon barrels or a bigger rye to give it more of a dimension than the Templeton does
