Solid porter pour. Maybe a little too translucent for some, but the head's nice and from a foot or two away it looks solid dark.
Smells strongly of rich, red raspberries and little else. Some faint hints of porter grain in there, but not all that much. It's smells like a beer, not a glass of juice, but it's just not quite beery enough.
Tastes much more balanced (beery vs. fruity-wise). Fresh raspberries spread from start to finish and are backed up nicely by a lightly bitter porter middle and a raw, chocoately malt finish. Nothing mindblowing but pretty good.

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?
