KariCupcake (215), Lenox, Massachusetts, USA Nov 13, 2006 Shared a sampler that had this in it. It had a brown color with a big fruity flavor. Slightly on the watery side.
ericnixon (712), Lenox, Massachusetts, USA May 28, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Very dark brown color with a big ol’ pile of blackberries spraying out at you like some FLAVORBLAST candy commercial. Hopistotle420 (1177), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA Feb 11, 2004 Dark ruby brown. Roasted/burnt grain nose. Starts roasty and a litlle on the sweet side, coffee, faint chocolate, thin light body, finishing with a surge of blackberry. Very subtle fruit, which is nice...I wish this had some more body to it, then it would be excellent. vwsteggie (684), Paxton, Massachusetts, USA Jan 24, 2004 Has a very dark brown color and a slightly smoke/roasted smell. Taste was a bit watery, but was smoked/malts/nut and finishes with a slight blackberry flavor. Overall a pretty good porter, but it was a little watery. argo0 (6332), Washington DC, USA Dec 30, 2003 Clear red-brown body with beige head. Aroma is blackberry and light nutty. Taste is definitely blackberry, some nutty, some cola, the result of which is something that bears a passing resemblance to a blackberry soda. Light-medium body, light tartness.
