Served in a wellington glass.

Appearance: Superior dark brown but definitely not opaque. Tan head is minimal maybe 1/4" off the body.

Smell: Deep berry scent complimented with a bitter chocolate scent.

Taste: This beer has a complexity that tell s a story. It's bitter, but has a fruity sweet to it that you will absolutely love. Coffee bean notes pretty evident and blueberry tingling your palates.

Mouth: Medium carbonation and incredibly smooth. The bitterness makes you feel that this is an infused stout but then how it finishes makes you think it's really what it is.

Overall: Well made brew, one of the few Fruit beers I would recommend after a meal. Yes it will probably compliment a dessert pretty well but after a T-Bone this was the dessert. Salud!

22oz. bottle poured into a tumbler glass.

A- a very dark brown, little light gets through, with a nice dense tan head. Head does dissipate fairly quickly.

S- some cocoa, blueberry, and candy sugar. Boozy, and overly sweet.

T- a big boozy mess. You would think that chocolate and blueberry would work, but it just doesn't. Overly sweet, with an aggressive bitterness on the back end to try and tame it. Nothing melds together, and nothing works about this beer.

M- Fairly thin for as dark as it is, a bit dry and almost metallic on the back.

O- Had high hopes for this, which were quickly crushed.
