4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is by far the best oatmeal stout I have had. The blueberry adds a unique contrast that is stimulating to my palate. I seriously would put this beer on my waffles. I can’t understand why others are rating this beer so low. Don’t listen to them if you haven’t had it go out and buy it right away you won’t be dissappointed.

Great beer. Nice blend of flavors. Sweet blueberry up front then nicely tamed by a delicious bitterness and finishes with a smooth chocolate. Really great finish.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep black with a mocha web of bubbles on top. Aroma is blueberry but its not overwhelming. This tastes like a quality oatmeal stout; mild roast, a touch of chocolate and a pleasant finish of blueberry.

OK - I don’t understand the hate here. First of all, this is not a Fruit beer. One fruit additive does not a fruit beer make. It is an oatmeal stout. Second of all - as a beer to go with chocolate, you couldn’t choose a better one. Drinking with chocolate, you get the sourness imparted from said blueberries, but also the deep, rich blueberry flavors, without the methane flavor. The Oatmeal is just a base - this is one good OATMEAL STOUT that just happens to have blueberries.

The blueberry aroma on top of hops and malts is delicious. There is a dark clear appearance with a nice foamy head. The berry flavor on top of a clear stout flavor is light and pleasing on the palate.

I’m a huge Blueberry fan in general and this did not disappoint. Bursting with blueberry and oatmeal flavor. Very dark, not overly sweet.

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.

12 oz bottle. Deep brown with a loose tan head. Nose is bittersweet chocolate, roasty malt and a decent blueberry aroma. Nice bittersweet chocolate flavor with a good, complementary blueberry sweetness. A mild bitterness pops up late, a roasty bite followed by more blueberry in the finish. Excellent sheetlike lace. Really a pleasant drinker. A nice surprise!
