Sammy (3971), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 16, 2009 Pours black and thick, blueberry definately somewhat natural aroma, and oily roast aroma. Above avrage mouthfeel, almost no head, certainly no lace. A decent dry stout, assisted by some blueberries. malrubius (977), Valley Stream, New York, USA Nov 14, 2009 12 ounce bottle shared at Dickinsonbeer’s brewing fest. Very dark black with brown head. Rich chocolate spicy fruity blueberry aroma. Rich roasted coffee chocolate mild fruity blueberry and strong, call me crazy, anise spice or licorice. Blueberry is artfully subdued. Nice texture. Very good. tomthompson89 (1465), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 2, 2009 wasn’t huge on this one, thick dark pour almost black maybe dark brown. tan foam. looks nice. nose was coffee, maybe some blueberries but only because i know they r there.. could easily be missed. flavor is choc and coffee not much maybe a touch of blueberry. astringent finish very dry mouthfeel bitbucket (2029), Kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 28, 2009 Bottle, pours black with a short tan head. Surprisingly (to me) the blueberries power their way thru the coffee and chocolate. Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark Oct 18, 2009 Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom. It’s pitch black with a dark brown, small, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, blueberries and candy. The sweet flavor has notes of roasted malt, licorice, blueberries, perfumed candy and in the slightly dry finish, there are hints of coffee – quite charming. JHunter (244), British Columbia, Canada Oct 4, 2009 pours a dark black colour with a dark chocolate coloured head, nice blueberry aroma. Mix of coffee, chocolate and blueberry flavours. j12601 (1181), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Sep 22, 2009
Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR in this year’s summer secret santa. Thanks! Pours a viscous midnight black with a dark brown head. Just gorgeous. One of the most beautiful looking stouts I’ve come across, but the head falls off a bit too quickly for me.
Light sweet blueberries, chocolate, and very faint hints of roast. The body is a little thinner than its looks belie, but it’s not thin by any means. Really nice mouthfeel, smooth and supple. Chocolate, blueberry, subdued roast character that leans more towards bitter cocoa than char. A little like a dark chocolate truffle with blueberries in it. Finishes with more lingering bitter dark chocolate flavor. Outstanding.
skraus708 (8), oak park, Illinois, USA does not count Sep 16, 2009 Dark with creamy head. smells of blueberries. tastes of dark chocolate, coffee, with slight hint of blueberry and tobacco, but not overpowering
