| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. Ckear, reddish brown with some off-white head. Malty, sweetish aroma with dried fruits and some beef-stock. Beef-stock, malt, caramel and dried fruits in the flavor. Full body, and a long, sweetish finish. Quite nice, but not the best from Dogfish Head.’ (070511) Nejhleader (930), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 22, 2007 i thought this was a waste of money, its a good brew, but for close to $20 a bottle one can do better. had a sweet almost fruity/candi like flavor with a bit of spice mixed in....... someone should make a berries and cream beer, and get that guy from the starburst commercials to be on the bottle, ha ha.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Bottle. Flute. An interesting beer that pours one of the most brilliant shades of amber I’ve ever seen. Thick, bubbly head. All of the fruity flavor is very reserved in this beer. Berry, hops and malt are balanced extremely well in both flavor and aroma. Very well crafted even despite the syrupy mouthfeel. Good RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Father’s Day - Pours a dark pinkish color, almost into the purple family. The flute showed off the light pink head nicely. The scent was of berries, carbonation and some yeast. I can’t quite say why I hated this so much. The palate was thin and flat. I didn’t think that the berries came through nearly enough to make this something special. I tried to get through with out pouring it down the drain...but I failed....or the beer failed me.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 19, 2007 Clear chestnut colour with an off white head. Malty and light caramel sweet aroma with lots of berry fruityness. Fruity, sugary sweet flavor with a light alcohol note. Berry fruity finish. ChainGangGuy (2592), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Appearance: Pours a reddish-purple body with thin, short-lived off-white head.
Smell: A fairly delicate aroma of blackberry juice, blueberry syrup, and sweet-smelling malts.
Taste: Void of the striking, juicy fruitiness I was hoping for, I’m disappointed to find it was merely a faint, awkward candyish berry sweetness. Finishes tart and medicinal.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Mouthfeel is sticky, approaching syrupy. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: The real loser in all of this is me, as I still have another bottle of this stuff waiting for me at home. Kinz (2211), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Amber with a ruby tint, compact head fades fairly quickly. Aroma is faint, a bit of caramel, undefined dark fruit, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor matches the nose almost precisely. Perhaps a touch more fruit, but this is definitely a beer with notes of dark fruit as opposed to the fruit smacking you in the face. Alcohol is present but moslty integrated. Dry finish. Decent, but I was expecting something more outrageous for some reason. Did not strike me as particularly Belgian in nature. Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2007 750 ml bottle. Aroma of fermented fruit and malted grain. Good red body with pinkish head. At first all i got from beer was alochol and the presence of friut was limited. Got a decent fruity plum and a carmael presence by finish. Left a dry fruit presence on the palate that wasn’t in the flavor odd.
