Raspberry Porter poured a brownish color with a thumb width off white head.  The aroma had a huge amount of really ripe, really bold raspberries.  If there was anything else to the aroma it was overshadowed by the fruit.  The body is really light, with faint malt, a faint toastyness and lots of raspberries.  There finish is lacking and almost completely absent.  The beer left very trace amounts of lace on the glass.  This is one of the more interesting beers I have ever reviewed.  If this was a cider style it would be very highly ranked as the raspberries in the beer were nice but this tasted nothing like a porter.  A tasty beverage, but not a good beer.
