Founder's certainly has a way with raspberries, from Blushing Monk to its little cousin, the difficult-to-type-on-a-standard-keyboard Rübæus. They are also no stranger to porters (dark, rich, and sexy), or to imperial stouts (of which they make several, all good).
I scored this in a growler which was procured for me by the Growler King at Whole Foods in Richmond.
It smells just like a raspberry-filled milk chocolate bar. This is a lot like what it tastes like, too. This beer is not a triumph of complexity, but of successful experimentation: capturing a flavor profile deftly. Definitely a step up from Double Naked Fish, for instance, though more expensive as well.
All in all, I'm glad that Clinton at Market Street Wine Shop (in Charlottesville) has put my name on a bottle. The West Coast is gonna want to taste this...
