Poured a near black color with a small, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, sweeter blueberry, and vanilla. Taste of sweet cocoa, roast, light smoke, and vanilla. A really nice, sweet blueberry melds nicely with the roast and chocolate.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, blueberry, and molasses. Average sized brown head that mostly diminished but left no lace. Black hue. Flavor is roasted malt, dark chocolate, blueberry, coffee, and wood. Nice finish. Palate is smooth and oily soft. Med/full bodied. A very nice dry stout especially if you like that roasted/burnt malt flavor.

Best smelling beer I’ve had so far. Smells EXACTLY like a blueberry muffin or blueberry pancakes. Nothing too special about the appearance, dark black with maybe tint of blue. Flavor was good, really good, but the aroma got me so jazzed that I expected much more of a blueberry flavor to this one. The blueberry flavor in this one is comparable to the cherry flavor in Bells Cherry Stout, but it certainly adds to the flavor. No bitter aftertase, nice hints of chocolate and malt. The blueberry is there, just not as much as I wanted it to be. Still, a fantastic beer!

On tap at Hop Devil Grill, NYC. Great roasty blueberry aroma - really works well! Black, big thick tan head, looks great. Taste is just ok - too much blueberry, roast is overwhelmed with fruity bitterness. Otherwise, solid stout that just gets the balance a little wrong. Overall good, could be great.

Smells like an old blueberry pastry. Taste is of fruit, some toffe and a little smoke thrown in. the stuff looks like dark daark blue ink. One of these was enough, but really quite drinkable.

Pours a very dark brown with a small brown layer of foam. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, and blueberries. Flavor is a let down, it seems a little too bitter and leaves a weird roast/chocolate aftertaste.

12 oz bottle from tytoanderso; nose of chcolate cover blueberries with a minor coffee hint! Very black with brown fringes and a very small rusty, small-bubbled head; flavor is very molassey with blueberries and bitter chcolate; finish from the nicely thick body is a little hops!

Draft at the Hop Devil Grill, thanks to MaxxDaddy. Black pour with a brown thin film on top. Aroma is twiggy blueberries, with light roasted chocolate malt underneath. The flavor is similar, dominated by blueberries. Smooth palate, and a little lactic roastiness after drinking more.
