3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle to snifter. Pours cloudy dark amber copper in color with a quick soapy tight head that settles to a ring. Aroma has signs of blueberries and anise with caramel burnt bready malt trying to show through. Taste is strong yeast and spice with burnt caramel sugary malt and dark fruit with bitterness and alcohol showing through the finish. Palate is medium and fizzy with the carbonation and finishes chalky and dry. Complex interesting brew, but not enjoyable enough to respect the price for the bottle!

Sampled on New Years Eve 2012. Had this bottle sitting around for a while and as such, hid the abv fairly well. Blueberry hints and other fruity matly sweetness. Didn’t really care for it, and certainly not worth the price, but not horrible.

Beer brewed with blueberries. Paper wrapped. 750mL bottle, capped.
Reddish color. Aroma of Barley Wine. Caramelized sugars, dried fruit. Not much blueberry (much like Sweetwater’s Blue Balls). A good bit of alcohol. Flavor of toffee, light bodied.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample from a bottle at PIB. Pours a cloudy brown with a small white lacing, and lots of visible sediment. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel, dark fruits, and bourbon. Flavour is initially huge sweetness on the tongue, butterscotch, plums and raisins, some orange in there too, and booze, with a wood aftertaste. This was a little too sweet for me, and the booze wasn’t well worked in. Other than that, pretty good.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled from bottle at PIB, pours murky dark orangey amber with a small head. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel, dark fruits and a little bourbon - pretty subtle on the nose. Flavour is heavy on orange / tangerine, quite harsh sweetness and booziness. The booze and sweetness cuts some of the complexity. Still solid.

Leicht malzig, man merkt, dass da noch etwas kommen wird. Der Alkohol verbindet sich mit einer fruchtigen Note, trotz des starken Alkoholaromas ausbalanciert. Lecker!

Murky brown. Fennel, liquorice malty yet dry. Over ripe apricots.. Dry finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Few year old bottle. Pour is dirty deep butterscotch with a small white head. Aroma is oxidation, caramel malt, light fruit, and a faint cereal malt note. Flavor is also quite oxidated with hints of fruit, cereal malt, and a light sweet finish. Alcohol is well hidden, but this is not great.

Bottiglia da 75 all’Altrimenti, accompagnando il dolce. Mi aspettavo qualcosa di completamente diverso, ci sarebbe poi da chiarire il mistero della scritta "mirtilli" cancellata; di mirtilli manco l’ombra.. in compenso una bella nota finale di liquirizia, molto amara.
