Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Brown/black color with a decent tan head. Strong aroma of blueberry with some coffee. Full bodied with prickly, but nearly creamy, carbonation. Flavor is blueberry, coffee and burnt toast. Rather dry; almost tart. Sure is different.

Bottle... Pours midnight black with a mid-sized, creamy, beige head. Fantastic retention. The aroma is a nice swirl of blueberry, coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied and creamy with prickly carbonation. Sweet, acrid and fruity. Chocolate, blueberry and coffee with decent bitterness. Surprisingly well-done. I’ll be drinking more of this. Underrated, I think.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear ruby color with a medium frothy brown head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Medium berry friut and chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This soft fruity beer met my expectations.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of blueberries, chocolate, and some roast. Tastes of blueberries, chocolate, light roast, and a touch of caramel. Medium sweet with a light tart finish.

Bottle (Blueberry Oatmeal Stout): Pours an opaque black with a large, frothy tan head. Aroma boast big blueberry character even upon uncapping along with some sweet doughy pale and roasted malts. Body starts with full carbonation and silky, earthy dark chocolate and sweet caramel malty notes giving way to fresh fruity blueberries. Finishes roasty and bittersweet with some lingering roasted coffee presence. A well-made and enjoyable blueberry stout.

30th July 2008. Opaque stout with a beige head. Startling sharp blueberry and floral sweetness over a robust mildy toasted oatmeal stout. Flavour has an artificial tang but that’s okay. The carbonation works well.
