My sole experience with Aronia has been seeing it growing in the 
landscaping at a miniature golf course at a youth entertainment 
center at Nicholasville KY - just SW of Lexington.
Handsome clusters of blue-black berries on bushes growing between 
'holes' in the putt-putt course, mulched with pea gravel.
Personally, I didn't find them very flavorful;  not 'choking', but 
nothing to write home about either;  This would have been in 
mid-September - maybe they weren't yet at their peak?
