( 12oz bottle thanks to bobby91w and sprinkle) Pours a pitch black color that is somewhat viscous, oily, nice 1 finger head but recedes as quickly as soda head. No real lacing on the glass to speak of either, but looks nice for the style. The smell is a nice complex mixture of coffee, dark chocolate, and blueberries, but the blueberries stand out just a LITTLE bit too much. Reminiscent of blueberry muffins, almost buttery even. Taste starts off coating the tongue with dark chocolate, perhaps some burnt toast! Blueberries assault the middle of your tongue. There is a little more bitterness than I like in stouts here, maybe from some hops? Not sure really. Perhaps it’s too much cocoa flavor for me; like unsweetened chocolate. There is a lot going on here really. The finish lingers with the bitterness a bit. The mixture of stout and blueberries is a pretty ingenious combination and it’s well done here. So thick and perfect, really nice carbonation, thick and viscous, needs to be creamier though and a little slicker/oily to be perfect.

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.

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.

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

Bottle, pours black with a short tan head. Surprisingly (to me) the blueberries power their way thru the coffee and chocolate.

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.

pours a dark black colour with a dark chocolate coloured head, nice blueberry aroma. Mix of coffee, chocolate and blueberry flavours.
