Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown. Pours reddish brown with a medium head and decent lacing. Fruity caramel aroma. Taste of caramel, grain, fruity pebbles and aspartame. As weird as that sounds, it does seem to work somewhat. Very flavorful, but not that great.

Deep red with a minimal head. Aroma of sour red berries and malt. The flavor is fruity in an ale way, also has notes of herbs and grassy hobs.
