Porter eh? Tastes almost like their raspberry wheat to me. Doesn't have nearly enough of a body to be a porter in my mind, way too thin and watery. Raspberry dominated all of the tastes and tasted a bit fake for my liking. While I'm glad I tried it out, I wouldn't get it again.. a bit too fake and gimmicky.

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?
