Celebrating 20 years of Remarkably Good Taste! Characterized by a medium body and a dry, well-balancedfinish, this deep brown porter brewed with Dutch cocoa and pure raspberry concentrate evokes chocolate, caramel and fresh raspberries.

Randy's Notes: “This robust porter was just overwhelming with raspberry fruit acid at the initial release in early '05. Now with 10 months additional aging the fruit is subsiding and slowly the cocoa is emerging to show much more balance and complexity at 60deg F. Don't consume too cold and enjoy the benefits of further aging. I suspect peak condition by xmas and a long period of drinkability (another year?). 2007, drink now, all stock is gone from brewery.”
