As you pour the beer, the unmistakable smell of blueberries permeates the air. The aroma is blueberries, grainy malt, and musty hops….almost like stale blueberry eggos. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt with a bitter hop finish and a hint of blueberry. Blueberry beers always disappoint.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

355ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on February 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark translucent amber colour with a white head which disappates to permanent lacing. The aroma was slightly malty, but had an unmistakable floral hoppiness that was a prelude of good things to come. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour had some hints of malt, but was very hoppy, with some grapefruit like bitterness in the finish. A very good beer.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

355ml bottle <br> 10.3% ABV (as marked on the bottle) <br> 2011 bottle <br> Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> January 13, 2012 <br> The beer poured a hazy golden-red with a thin tan head. The aroma was sweet malt, fruit, citrusy hops and some grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The alcohol was definitely noticeable in this beer. There was a sweet fruity note to the flavour along with a bitter citrusy finish....but again, the alcohol was the winner (or is that loser) in the flavour category.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

500ml bottle <br> 9.0% ABV <br> Best before: March 9, 2019 <br> Main / Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 7, 2018 <br> $3.65<br> The beer pours a coca-cola brownish-black with almost no head, save for a thin dark brown film of bubbles. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and alcohol. The alcohol was very noticeable. The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied, but carbonation was well below average, almost no carbonation in this bottle. The flavour was sweet milk chocolate, bitter coffee, and roasted malt. Despite the dating on the bottle, this seemed like an 'old' beer based oin the lack of carbonation and real flavours, but based on this bottle, this beer was a letdown

The mouthfeel is full bodied, very creamy, and well carbonated. The flavour is chocolate, molasses, and vanilla. There is a definite sweetness up front that eventually gives way to a bitter roasty finish. An excellent beer.
