473ml can. Sweetish, a bit weird and artificial with some berry juice, creamy yogurt, vanilla and roasty earthiness. Quite untypical.

I am a kid walking into an ice cream shop and they have blueberries chocolate in a sugar cone. I am like fuck yeah. I try it and I am like this is the best blueberry ice cream ever. Lap it up and I am a happy boy.

Can. Dark brown, no head, as one would expect with coconut cream in here. The aroma has a lot of blueberry, and light chocolate...the smell is big and sugary. On the palate, the coconut is evident right up front, before giving way to a moderately bitter and quite chocolatey sweet imperial stout. The blueberry kicks in about halfway through, but it clashes a little bit. It's so sweet and rich that even without having a lot of bitterness, it still clashes. But I do like the base beer, especially the coconut accent, and while the blueberry doesn't make it better, neither does it make it problematic. In the end, I probably like it despite its faults pulling the score down a bit.

Pours a deep brown-black, with minimal head. Strong aroma of blueberries, some chocolate, coffee. Flavor is intense berries, with coffee, chocolate, coconut, some licorice. It has an unfortunate, medicinal aftertaste, not unlike cough syrup, which it reminds me of to its detriment...

Tasting at Salesforce, can
Dark brown colour, near. Chocolate with fruit, very perfume-y, coconut, The Body Shop.
Excessively weird. So confusing, I don't know if I like it or not.

16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out intense blueberries and coconut meat upfront, with vanilla ice cream further back. Flavour is unbelievably intense, almost too harsh, with intense blueberries and vanilla ice cream dominating -- maybe a touch of coconut. This intensity is nearing overboard, though no one could accuse the beer of not delivering what's advertised. I can't really tell if I like this, even after a 4 oz pour. Fun beer, but drinkable only in tiny amounts.

Can. Pours a dark brown with small beige head. The aroma is dark fruit and vanilla cream. Slick body, licorice, dark chocolate, cream, boozy finish, good.
