| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 23, 2009 Draft at Jerry’s. Black with big, creamy brown head / Big, roast nose / Medium to full body, chewy, with great balance and finish / Flavors of roast coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and tobacco, with subtle blueberry notes / Near perfect, just a textbook example of a dry stout with the deft touch of blueberries adding a little extra interest. dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Tap at EBF. I didnt really care for this one. The sweetness from the blue berries didnt blend well with the roastiness of the stout. The two distinct flavors might be good on their own but together they just dont work. kegbear (268), Orange, California, USA

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 19, 2009 I really enjoyed this one. Dark pour with tan head. Fresh friggin blueberry aroma, wow its fantastic. Fruits mixed with chocolate, malt. An honest treat. The blueberries are potent, but perfectly mixed with the sweet chocolates, and slight coffee. And at 4.5%! I could drink it all night. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Pour is a black with a average tan head. Aroma is lots of toasted malts with an ever so slight blueberry. Flavor is your usual coffee and chocolate but there is a nice blueberry there almost hidden but it does make an appearence. The best thing i can say about this beer is that its different. BeerBunker (607), Burbank, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours black with a frothy brown head. Nice brown lacing lasts for almost the entire beer. Aroma is of blueberries, chocolate, caramel, and dark fruit. Taste is very bitter at first, and takes a few sips to get used to. Once it settles it tastes of caramel, chocolate, malt, coffee, and dark fruit. The blueberry taste is not overpowering, but simply blends in with the other flavors. It lingers on after each sip. Body is very creamy. Finish is very dry with lots of coffee. Not something I could drink more than one of, but a very tasty beer.
