Tap at BGB, huge thanks Dita and Gurthnar! Hoooh... this one apparently blew somehow, and lost most of its carbonation, and yet it was still put up, probably for cheaper, albeit with a warning... so what does it give us? Black body, no head - matches the "lost carbonation" thing. The aroma is sharp though, blueberries dominate, bit citric, no "cheesecake batter" aroma that I've noticed, light chocolate too, which is cool. The taste, however, isn't thrilling. Still creamy, obviously flat, with blueberries dominating, but with some metallic, blood-like notes as well, tart, bit yeasty... nah, Gurthnar liked it far more than I did I think, and I was generous with my score, taking into consideration what happened to it (would probably end up 6.2/6.4 if I didn't), but this showed other light issues that may have been there in the base beer as well.

Med-thin body, low carbo. Med-light bitter, low sweet. Feels watery. Light chocolate and dark fruits, but above all watery. I expected more texture, flavour richness and generally everything from a cheesecake. Meh.
