I realized after I poured it that this beer does not resemble my defenition of a porter at all...its red for crying out loud! That being said Im not going to let it effect my scoring...becuase Im not a beer judge and dont care. Deep red coulor with a small head that disipates quickly. Not much lace, but some. Smells like raspberries (real raspberries)...imagine that. A little dark caramel aroma in there as well. Tastes like rasperries...again, imagine that, with a bit of bready malt and a slight hint of chocalate (I may have imagined the chocalte). Good amount of bitterness balances out this beer. The raspberry flavour is very fresh and dry. Not much sweetness which is a good thing, but not as tart as I might have expected. Highly drinkable and a unique fruit beer. I wonder why they labeled this a porter because to me its more like a raspberry red ale. I liked this one a lot.

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?
