On tap at the Chaddsford location.

Poured deep and dark amber color, almost brown, and a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, some chocolate, roast, and raisins. Tastes of blackberries, caramel, chocolate, lighter roast, and some dark fruits. Lively body. Some lacing left on the glass. I acutally kinda of dug this one. Medium sweet with an underlying tart berry finish.

Serving type: on-tap

Appears a semi transparent dark amber with a small, off white head that quickly fades into a mild cap. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of bready yeast dough with classic esters of tropical fruit, vanilla, brown sugar, raisins, and of course...blackberries dusted with confectioners sugar.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with a unique Belgian blasted brew and blackberries. I wasn't sure what to make of this at first but it really grew on me and kept me craving more.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, sugary, yeasty, with some spices and bitterness found with a semi bitter, tart blackberry finish.
