22oz dark brown bottle. No freshness date.
Served in a Piraat snifter.
The color is an unusual purple-hued dark mahogany. Minor particles of what I assume is blueberry pulp floats in a thin layer just beneath the tannish head.
Smells of mixed berries, roasted malt, resinous hops and boozy alcohol blend together. A slight floral scent inches forward. The smell of blueberries is there, but not jumping out.
The flavors mirror the aromas. Certainly fruit cup loaded with tart blueberries is upfront. Fruited vodka and mixed hops mingle with a solid malty taste. The sweetness is just about right.
I should be sipping and swigging, but find myself slugging and gulping. Oh oh!
Not at all what I expected...and that's good for my tastes.
Good job Alan Pugsley! Very bold brew!
