/drɪŋk miː/!

After a productive morning of phonetics teaching training, and staring at volatile rain-or-not weather, a good stout is a well-deserved evening treat.  It seems like I've picked up a number of fruity beers recently, so why let new traditions die?  Guineu's Raspberry Milk Stout was sitting lonely on the shelf, amid piles of others.  If it's the last one, that must mean people like it, right?  I can't resist giving it a try.

Hey...

The raspberries are clear in the smell, although it's less like beer and more like shampoo to me.  Thanks to our penchant for fruity body cleaners, I guess.  The beer pours out nice and dark, although somewhat lacking in head.  The taste starts with a light raspberry touch, covering something darker and bitter.  At first it's like dark chocolate with raspberries, but a smokier, more typical stout comes out after a few seconds and takes over completely.  The flavor seems to hold constant from beginning to end, although it does get a little heavier.  Not too syrupy, but a little more obviously berry accented.
