Shared a sampler that had this in it. It had a brown color with a big fruity flavor. Slightly on the watery side.

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.

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.

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.

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.
