On tap at the brewpub. Big surprise...blackberries dominate this one with caramel malts and bready yeasts in the background. An average beer that was not helped by the sub-zero temps outside. Perhaps this would have been better in the summer...perhaps.

Intense blackberry aroma. Munich dark malt lends a pronounced roastiness...caramel/toffee/chocolate with a hint of biscuit. Markedly over-sweet to my taste...and WAY too much fruitiness. Nice experimental effort, which I’d like to encourage, but the resullts here were spotty.

Prety much all blackberry aroma, tiny caramel bits float by. Nice body, flavor hard to get to! Lots of blackberry.

I had this at Kraftbrau in Kalamazoo. Ruby red color with a thick creamy head. Extreme blackberry nose and taste. Almost overpowering. Super tart taste. For my taste it is overly fruity with no other textures to be found.
