Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown with a semi-violet or purple color along the sides of the glass, one and a half fingers of white foamy head slid off nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: blackberries - sweet and tart up front, animal cracker or graham cracker sweetness underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together sweetly with a touch of tart moving towards the back seat; subtle aftertaste of blackberries
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards the sipper side; semi-smooth along the tongue but also some tart clinging to the tongue - nothing overbearing; finishes with the blackberries and animal crackers/graham cracker type of sweetness
Overall: nicely done fruit beer I would come back to.

Pint can from Beer Run, 4/30/23. Dark brown, large brown head, average retention. Aroma of blueberry, caramel, graham cracker, nuts. Taste is blueberry, roast, nuts, cherry, caramel. Dangering on too sweet but not quite there. Solid.

16oz. can from Total Wine and More, St Petersburg. Dark brown and a little bit soupy with a beige/khaki head. Chocolate, oak, some cinnamon on the nose. Sweet warming taste with light notes of blackberry, turning quickly to bitterness all the way to the long finish. Full oily body, carbonation on the light side. Pretty good. And my 7000th rate!

I almost wanted to enter this as an Imperial Brown in the style listing instead of flavored, because the flavoring elements here are really really under-stated. If you didn't tell me, I'd just think it was a brown ale. Pours from the can a very hazy murky brown, modest tan head. Nose is light caramel, just a touch nutty. Flavor presents as fairly dry, with grainy and nutty flavors. For sure this is a perfectly fine strong brown ale. I don't know to be disappointed or not - I probably would complain about blackberry pie in beer form. But then I was kinda hoping to get something more than just a brown ale when picking this out.
