Ever try Magic Hat #9? It's not marketed as a 'flavored beer', but there's definitely a 'slightly more than subtle' hint of apricot in there. I love that stuff.

I'm a sucker for all things raspberry, that's one of my favorites. A local microbrewery makes a chocolate raspberry stout around Valentine's Day, it's definitely a winner. Consequently my first homebrew was a chocolate raspberry stout, also a winner.
