Aug 14, 2008 750 ml bottle from Chuck’s Liquor in Bowling Green. Poured a clear mahogany color with a small whitish head...approximately one finger. Aroma was very complex. Sweet malt combined with various over ripe fruits. Flavor was solid with some fruit flavor and a malty balance. Mouthfeel was creamy. Alcohol was well masked. Very good beer, though not as good as the Red & White.

Aug 8, 2008 750ml bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a deep amber body with a small off-white head. Interesting complexity in this beer. Malty and fruity with some bright piquant notes. Very well masked alcohol. Nice hop presence. Still missing something here. But not bad.

Aug 7, 2008 This was a confusing beer for me (bottle at Papago). I was promised black&blueberries, but got a syrupy quad. Really fell flat for me. I was expecting great things after my Red & White encounter in Boston, but I detected very little fruit (what I did find was more like funky dates than berries).

Aug 2, 2008 750 ml bottle from Wine Specialist (12.99). Ruby orange color with a smallish white head. Aromas of dark berries and bready malt. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is slightly sour, dark berries, caramel, and a light touch of grassy hop. Finish is neither sweet nor sour. The long result is more blackberry than anything else. Upon reflection it seems to have a candi aspect. A berry tripel?

Aug 2, 2008 I enjoyed this beer. I probably won’t go looking for it again, not at 18 bucks and bottle.
But I’m a fan of Dogfish Head and had to give it a try.

Jul 31, 2008 bottle. The fruit in this beer is not overwhelming. It is there but not that intense. I like that about this beer. It has that nice belgian style flavor beneth the fruit of the blackberries and blueberries. Still very smooth for 10%

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle from Oliver T’s...Flavor is not as intense as I hoped for. The berries do indeed taste nice and tart, but the palate is too light and watery. Undercarbed. Hard to believe this is really 10%..

Jul 20, 2008 750 ml bottle purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle. Pours a reddish purple color with minimal head. (Poured into a small tulip glass.) Flavor: The hints of blackberries and blueberries (duh), but not as strong as you might think.
Out of all of DFH’s "fruity" beers, this one is my favorite.
