Bottle. Poured a dark brown, almost the color of molasses. Head was barely existant, with pathetic lacing. Smells fruity and sweet with tangy smell. The blackberry taste is barely noticable. Medium bodied, with some interesting off flavors. Really, this is not what I expected for whats advertised.

Dark roasted malt aroma with no more than a hint of fruit. Hazy darkish amber color with a white head that barely existed. Medium in body with a fizzy, nearly chewy, carbonation. The flavor has a fruit component, but the main part is really heavily roasted, though not toasted, malt. Even so the fruit aspect seems to battle the malt. The finish turns rather dry with some fruit/herb aspect. It’s a malty drink. After several mouthfulls it is possible to imagine actual blackberry. Overall it is more of a Belgian dubbel ( which is what the label says) than a fruit beer. The fruit may be taking the place of spice for this style.

On first impressions, I wondered..where’s the blackberries? I got a sweet fruity extract nose, but not much else. Pour is a hazy brownish/purple color. Mouthfeel was thin, minerally and astringent. Flavors were weak and I got some sweetness that tasted a bit like blackberries but it was slight sour too, but it had this spritzer type flavor, like drinking blackberry mineral beer if that makes sense. Not an abomination, but nothing I’d revisit.

Thanks to Stoutlover72 for sending this to me. The aroma is yeasty with some malt and blackberries of course. Medium brown color with a large, frothy tan head. Highly carbonated with a medium mouthfeel. Taste is yeasty with a hint of blackberries. The alka seltzer mouthfeel ruins the flavor.
