While at the Dr Pepper Museum, I gladly picked up this newer flavor variant from Dr Pepper. I should point out that this single 12oz. can contains 40g of carbohydrates, 39g of which are sugars, roughly 78% of the RDA. Right off the start, I think the scent it has is nice, but then I think a lot of these darker berry flavored beverages seem to entice me. When tasting I find the flavors move around. The forward flavor gives the kind of "spices" you expect from Dr Pepper. It then shifts to a blackberry centric flavor, followed by a more even blend of both Dr Pepper and berry and then leaves a lingering aftertaste of blackberry on the back of the tongue. I don't find it to be complex, but it's interesting if not a little heavy on the berry and light on the Dr Pepper. So often these flavor mixes seem to go too heavy on the added flavoring and overpower the original drink that makes people want to buy it. It's novel but I'm not sure its something I'd grab often and certainly would be nice if this came in a zero sugar version.
