Bottle, pours black with a short tan head. Surprisingly (to me) the blueberries power their way thru the coffee and chocolate.

Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom. It’s pitch black with a dark brown, small, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, blueberries and candy. The sweet flavor has notes of roasted malt, licorice, blueberries, perfumed candy and in the slightly dry finish, there are hints of coffee – quite charming.

Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR in this year’s summer secret santa. Thanks! Pours a viscous midnight black with a dark brown head. Just gorgeous. One of the most beautiful looking stouts I’ve come across, but the head falls off a bit too quickly for me. Light sweet blueberries, chocolate, and very faint hints of roast. The body is a little thinner than its looks belie, but it’s not thin by any means. Really nice mouthfeel, smooth and supple. Chocolate, blueberry, subdued roast character that leans more towards bitter cocoa than char. A little like a dark chocolate truffle with blueberries in it. Finishes with more lingering bitter dark chocolate flavor. Outstanding.

Bottle with big blueberry thanks to coyotehunter. Pours brown-black with little fizzy head of a reddish tan color. Nose is all roastyness blueberry aroma, and even a touch of coffee? Maybe that’s just the roasty malts though. There’s a faint smokey quality as well. Flavor is substantially the same, though with less emphasis on blueberry and more on coffee, bitter roastiness, burnt earth, a touch of cocoa in the middle palate, and a smooth oat-malt finish. Really a surprisingly nice beer. Coyotehunter may be the best trade partner in the world. Nothing but winners so far in the this box!

I was floored to see this was less than 5%. Growler supplied by Kevin. Poured a dark brown almost black. Low carbonation but still a small tan head. Nose is huge blueberries and a fair amount of smoke. Flavor is quite roasty with lovely smokiness and some subtle chocolate and toasted malt complexity. Huge thick body I estimated this beer was 6.5% at least. What an achievement. Amazing beer.
