OFallon Blackberry Scottish Ale

Brewed by OFallon Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
OFallon, Missouri USA

Aroma like a geuze, which I love. :) It’s got that sour vinegar-y, funky cheese thing going on, but layered nicely over the butterscotch, alcohol, berry-berry kix aroma. The flavors were like blackberry perservatives, butterscotch, carmel, strawberry, malts, and a nice smooth mouthfeel to round it out well. Still has a bit of funk to it, but I’ll take it!

A dark amber color. The aroma is slightly vinegary with a strong raspberry and blackberry flavor. The flavor is well balanced with a doughy presence. Some blackberries and nutty in the taste. A little thin on the palate but overall not a bad fruit beer

A dark amber color with a nice eggshell head on it. Aroma has some nice sour cherry funk goin on. The taste is very bland at first and then follows with a nice subtle berry flavor. It tastes kinda like those bottlecap things i used to get on halloween back in the day, or a very chill version of a pixie stick.

12 oz Bottle: Pours a dark amber color, with little to no head or carbonation at all- like a tint of purple in an amber ale. The aroma is rather sweet. Some aromas of sweet sugary malts, and some tiny notes of blackberry, and various berries I imagine in the mountains and hops/grass. The flavor is light up front with a bolder finish. the light flavor upfront is black/blueberries, the finish is syrupy, sweet brown sugar, malts, and some other flavors of raisins/figs, coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Nothing special by any means ... just an average beer.

12oz. bottle. Predominantly sweet aroma, malty, sugary, toasty and lightly toffeeish with hints of the blackberry and some flowers showing through. Medium-dark amber in color, mostly clear, although this is bottle-conditioned, since I poured it without disturbing the sediment. Head is fine, slight and subsiding. Flavor is a suitable match or the aroma, fully malty and sweet, plenty of caramel and brown sugar overlaying everything and with moderately strong suggestions of blackberry in the finish, which also features some very light bitterness and citric hop flavor before being overcome by the malts and lightly syrupy fruitiness. Palate is effervescent and a tad thin, body is light-medium. Strangely, I was actually sort of in the mood for what I thought this was and still came out a bit disappointed.

amberish, almost brown apperance with white head...aroma and flavor were typical for a scotch ale, not of a fruit beer....some roasted malts, with the usual sugars and caramels...barely any berry, let alone blackberry....not bad, but i would have never called it a blackberry fruit beer

Poured a darker amber. Not much of a head to it. The aroma was somewhat coffee, with only the slightest hint of berry. The taste was kind of a burnt malt. I really didn’t get any berry in the flavor. Not what I expected when I bought it. All in all, it was OK.

12oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with almost no head, but kinda caramel-colored. Smells of fruity berries and some sweet malts. Can’t say that the berry in the taste is "subtle," but all I get is some berries and more malts. I am, upon rerating and my second beer, to pick up on the peaty earthy taste that is a Scotch or Scottish ale. Watery, with a slight bitter aftertaste. An OK beer, nothing special.
