The aroma is sweet, malty, and yeasty with notes of berries. The color is dark orange and it has a fine but fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and dominated by a myriad of berry notes - as if it is a drinkable version of a mixed marmelade - on my tastebuds it doesn't fit that well with a beer. I detect strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries combined with very weak malt notes. There is no bitterness to balance the sweetness from the berries. This beer is more special, than it is good.

Bright amber; strong, fruit extract aroma. The label is notably vague but I get blackberries, raspberries and maybe cherries. Toasty, bread crusty amber malts dominate the palate, forcing the syrupy fruit to the background, where it intermingles with woody hop bitterness. Subtle smoke notes show as it warms. I'm not comfortable with the discord between aroma and palate, nor am I happy that each seems unbalanced, albeit in opposite directions.
