4 oz. sample at El Bait Shop, De Monies, Iowa. Aroma is mostly blueberries with mild roast or chocolate. Flavor is mostly the same without much tartness, mild berry sweetness balanced by mild roasted grain. Medium plus body. I feel like this is a lot of puree but it does taste good, not overly sweet.

4 oz. sample at El Bait Shop, De Monies, Iowa. Murky copper color. Dear LORD that is a ton of caramel!!! Just from the aroma I knew this was going to be way too sweet to enjoy.
The flavor is caramel popcorn, sugar, and vanilla beans. Sickly sweet. Nothing to balance this brew and almost impossible to drink more than 3 ounces.
