3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Fruity banana split and dirty caramel aroma Hazy copper color. Taste is darker, maybe dates and even vanilla. Hop is present more as a ringing palate presence than flavor. Otherwise an easy drinking beer. Definitely some wheat at play, probably could be classed as dunkelweizen on here.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap pours hazy medium brown with whiteish head. Near chocolatey grain aroma with some earthy tones. The taste is murky with some roasted chocolatey grain, funky mix of fruit and nutty earth. Underwhelming overall but drinkable.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at Pittsfield Brew Works, 20 April 2010. Amber colour. Very sweet. Didn’t taste too clean. Not a lot else to say. Either something wrong here or this is one of Berkshire Brewing’s weaker efforts. I strongly suggest the former. Flagged for re-rate.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared with hobbie100. Thanks Richard!
A: Slightly hazy medium brown color with a little head that leaves no lacing.
S: Sweet spices, dark fruits, subtle malt.
T: Subtle dark fruits (mostly raisins and figs) with spices. The beer is decent tasting, but doesn’t quite have the complexity or big flavors that would make it an awesome beer. While this is a decent brew, there are many beers out there that are better examples of beers that really shine with dark fruits/spices flavors.
M: Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with slightly low carbonation.
D: A good beer, but not one I would seek out.
