Brewed by: Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company, Lexington, Kentucky
Description (from the website): "This bold and dark beer has a nose of fresh blackberries, and features notes of roasted malt, chocolate and vanilla on the palate. Finishing with the flavor of blackberry jam reminds you that spring has almost arrived."
Would I buy it again?: This is the first time I've ever had a beer with blackberries in it, and I was kind of excited to try this based on the description. I like blackberry jam (is there a difference between jam and jelly? Well, whatever.) And you know what? It absolutely tastes like I'm drinking blackberry jam. But we run into yet another case where it tastes a bit too much like the flavor and not enough like a beer. I'm actually kind of tempted to buy a peanut butter–flavored beer, mix the two together, and make an alcoholic PB&J. If I do that, I'll definitely post the results. I could be onto something here. Otherwise, I'll probably give this beer a pass in the future. It was okay, but I didn't love it.
