Bottle. Pours black with a small light tan head. Aroma of blueberry muffins. Also sort of smells like glue...Flavor is lightly roasted with the sweet blueberry/glue. Interesting stout but the blueberry flavor is a bit odd to me. 7/4/7/4/14 (3.6/5)

Bottle, thanks to tjthresh. Wow. A fruit stout that isn’t a worthless disaster. Remarkable accomplishment in itself. Aroma of blueberries and chocolate. Flavor nicely roasted with a hint of coffee, loads more semisweet blueberry and semisweet chocolate. Dry, blueberry finish. Great beer, great dessert, simple, smooth, deceptively decadent, and all at 4.5%.

Bottle at home ... Thanks to a trade which escapes me (but feel free to tell me it was you ) ... deep black with a thick fairly firm tan head ... soft roast malt almost coffee nose ... quite a lots of roast with a noticible blueberry presence in the linger ... Its just too bitter for me... but the blueberries are definitly there and there no mistaking its blueberries... good roast ... little coffee ... but just too bitter... as i swirl round mouth i get alternations of the bitterness and the blueberries... sometime they seem to run of to hide behind the bitterness other times they smack me in the face... All round a winner but could be better.

Bottle. (I’m going to steal BrewDad’s template) Appearance: Pours beautiful midnight black with a tight brown marshmallow-like head that hangs in there for a few minutes. Aroma: Roasted grain with definite dark fruit overtones. Taste: Starts very malty, quickly moves on to sweet dark fruit flavors, before finishing nice and dry. A tiny bit sour or acidic maybe from the roasted malt and fruit. Overall: A very unique beer. Definitely not a session beer but very tasty.

Big freeze dried jammy blueberry aroma really compliments the dry malt. Sticky clingy tan head. Very good and smooth roasty dry stout, though I don’t get the blueberry on my palate. Really impressed at this beer, I went into it with lower expectations.

Thanks to Tyson for sending this want along. Bottle poured into a snifter produced a finger worth of coco colored head that turned to a thick lace. The body of this brew was the typical midnight black for any stout. The aromas reminded me of a blueberry coffee, being from Maine yes there is such an animal. There is a slight chocolate smell as well but once I thought of the blubbery coffee I pretty much kept coming back to that. The flavors are toward the smoked side with slight blueberry fruit sweetness to it had a medium to full feel in my mouth with a slight carbonation. I liked this beer it was real interesting. I think one a sitting is all I could take, but it was enjoyable to drink. Like Maxwell house "good to the last drop". They need to market this in Maine it would sell great

12oz bottle given to me by Rogueone eons ago. Loved it the first time I had it and couldn’t bear to look at this gem another day. Pitch black pour with a medium light brown head. Nose is mostly chocolate malt with subtle blueberry and coffee. Chocolaty flavor up front gives way to blueberries and a bitter coffee finish. It’s so easy to overdo or underdo fruit in a beer, but they absolutely nailed it.
