maniac (1886), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 3, 2008 Bottle on 07/03/2008. Black body with a large creamy tan head. Roasted malt, chocolate and blueberries in the aroma. More roasted and chocolate malt with blueberries shining through followed by a mild bitter finish. Certainly not overpowered by fruit, and well balanaced. Medium full body with moderate carbonation. hopscotch (4358), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jun 29, 2008 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. eaglefan538 (2013), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Pour was deep brown-black, nice choco colored head, lacing was decent on the way down. Aroma was full chocoalte, light roast, totally missed the blueberries, kids were upset they didn’t smell it either. The flavor was full chocolate, roast, and blueberries, which came on much stronger as it warmed. The mouthfeel was grainy, somewhat gritty even, a bit of a turnoff (think sand or something like that in the beer), adding in there a touch of a metallic taste. phishpond417 (1110), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 24, 2008 A big fan of blueberry berry until the end of time. Pours pitch black, opaque colour with a tan head. Aromas strong of blueberries, and soft oats. Creamy mouthfeel, chocoaltey, coffee, oatmeal, and blueberries. Nice beer overall. very fun to sip on during the cold winter months. Dorwart (1584), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Jun 22, 2008 Thin light brown head of fine bubbles. Head dissipates quickly. Intense blueberry aroma with some roasted grains and a hint of chocolate malt. Kind of smells like the cereal Boo-berry. Color is a very dark brown. Nice and roasty flavor . Little bit dry and astringent. The blueberry flavor is no where near as intense as the aroma. Lots of roasted grains, dark chocolate and a bit of coffee. Finishes roasty and fruity. An interesting gimmick but not a good beer.
