Raspberry Temptress Imperial Milk Stout

A few weeks ago, i tried the Temptress Imperial Milk Stout from Lakewood Brewing, and really enjoyed the hell out of it.  In my heart of hearts, i am a dark beer kind of guy, though the summer heat here in central Texas certainly tries its best to push me in the other direction.  But, when it's late at night, the sun down, and the air cooling ever so slightly, i'm still wont to pour myself a strong stout and relax for a little while.  And Lakewood's Temptress hit the spot.  So, i was very happy to find out that the brewery offers up seasonal variations of this wonderful imperial milk stout with their Seduction Series, which brings us to the Raspberry Temptress, a sweet and strong delicious brew to stare at the moon and stars to.  The beer pours a dark black with a foamy, light tan head, and smells of chocolate, malts, raspberries, and some hints of vanilla.  The raspberries and chocolate are at the forefront, a medium bodied brew, with those hints vanilla here and there, and ending with a sweet finish on the back end.  And the 9.1% ABV hits you just right in the center of your chest.  Skip dessert and have one of these instead.
