Mar 31, 2008 Bottle at Magic_dave6’s disco dance tasting. Cloudy orange with a thin white head. Nose is bramble and hay, creamy though. Slight dishwater tones about it. Mouth is creamy, some brambles, some fizz, lots of cream. No finish, slight lasting creaminess, cloying. Alright

Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Aug 21, 2008Tasting, courtesy of Fordest’s event. Beer#14. hazy copper-red color with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with mixed berries and some barnyard funk. Flavor was sweet and sour fruits (but i could not specifically taste any blueberries or blackberries). The mouthfeel was smooth and malty. The finish was dry and kinda sour. overall: After the Cantillion blabar a high bar has been set for all other blueberry concoctions; and this beer, while quite good, suffers by the recent comparison.
Rerate note: Received a bottle from Secret Santa (Sprinkle). My first sample was from a two ounce rating, and I’m surprised to see that my comments do not drastically change now that I have a full bottle at my disposal. However I’m increasing my rating by a tenth as I find that I throughly enjoy this concoction..

Mar 25, 2008 750 ml. Bottled on 02/12/07. Pours out a beautiful purple and crimson color with a thin white head. Aroma of blueberries and fruity Belgian yeast. Flavor is ever so slightly tart, but has mellowed considerably after a year in the bottle. Heavy carbonation is noticeable as are hints of blackberry. Would characterize this beer as being predominately sweet and a little thin. Finish is is spicy and long lasting. It has improved with age, as most of the stronger Dogfish beers do, but still not as complex as I’d hoped.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours a ruby/copper color. A little hazy with a nice, creamy white head. Aroma is of berries and yeast. Deliciously fruity taste, blueberries and blackberries for sure along with a floral yeasty taste. Very creamy with sweet malts and spices. Crisp finish.
