3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours very dark with a brown head. Aroma is a bit of roasted malt and berry. Taste is roast, vanilla and light berry. Lively carbonation with a sweet smoth finish.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours opaque black with a thick one finger brown head that sticks. The nose reminds me of Blueberry Morning breakfast cereal. A sweetened dehydrated blueberry aroma flits above the surface, but underneath is an almost nutty bran muffin and hint of dark chocolate. The flavor is not quite as integrated as the nose. It starts off with an artificial blueberry flavor with a tinge of sweetener that somewhat sloppily transitions into a moderate roasty finish by way of a kick of tartness and astringency on the mid-palate.

Nice stout. Blueberry is mostly in hints and not overly strong. Earthy coffee notes as well. Good finish. I'd keep my eyes open for this one.

Thanks Mike. Enjoyed in a wine glass. Huge blueberry nose. has a dark blueberry hue in the head and body. Very unique! roasted and heavy with dark malts but this tart blueberry taste. Perhaps too much blueberry syrup but overall, a nice tasting beer as the weather warms up!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Black pour with little head into the glass. Aroma of blueberries, coffee, and chocolate. Faint blueberry flavor with a dark chocolate, black coffee bite. Enough sweetness to balance out the malts. Tasty.

Nose was a blueberry explosion. Palate was not as much blueberry. Mixed in some nice coffee and chocolate notes. Pretty damn tasty.

This was a wonderfully done stout. Lots of blueberry and dark chocolate in this one make a twisted, almost smoky finish. Thanks for sharing this one, OmegaX.

On tap at Mekong, ordered this one despite the fact that it let me know that it was a blueberry stout. Poured black. Aroma was strongly of blueberries - even the people standing next to me could smell it. Some light chocolate notes as well. Hits the palate as a medium bodied, slightly sweet stout - stout flavors tend towards chocolate with some faint coffee notes. The blueberry flavor is less pronounced than in the aroma, but still present - actually quite complimentary. For some reason, it strikes me as an almost, but not quite, artificial blueberry flavor. Probably because of the juxtaposition of the fruit notes over the stout notes. But not bad - for a blueberry stout.
