Well, what can I say? I definitely selected an interesting beer for my first review. My better half and I definitely enjoyed this one very much, but I have to admit that it wasn't exactly what I expected.
Appearance: nice amber color with some reddish tints, it pours with a thin white head which doesn't linger for very long. The color was lighter than I anticipated for a porter.
Aroma: Raspberries and dark chocolate malts, now I'm anticipating the flavor!
Taste: The raspberry and chocolate flavors are well balanced and compliment each other nicely. I noticed that chocolate malts are a little more pronounced when consumed at a higher temperature.
Feel: Nice smooth mouthful, body is not as heavy as I anticipated for a porter, but still very enjoyable and very drinkable.
I will definitely buy this one again.

Pouring a cellar temp bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a rich dark brown with some mahogany highlights on the edges of the glass. Minimal creamy beige head foams up and remains a thin surface layer.
Aroma is mild with raspberry and chocolate almost like a fruit filled candy, maybe the fruit paste kind not the gel.
First sip reveals a very light and thin body and tiny gentle rolling carbonation.
Flavor is similar to the nose, with a mild overall profile, but I get some roasted malt and dry baker's chocolate. These flavors roll to sweet raspberry notes. Finish is also a little dry.
Not a flawed brew but not overly interesting. It held up pretty well over time, but I wonder if it was a little more bold fresh?
