02/13/19, I agree with Beer N. , This is a bit of a mind fuck. Nose of a white stout, coffee added magically. Tart blueberries upfront. Mapley everywhere. Maybe they tried to make the double stack/blueberry muffin cuvée. Prefer a stout but still great!

Can thanks to Randy. Pours a hazy copper gold with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong maple syrup, blueberry, pure sugar, spice. Thin body, similar flavors to nose, nice tartness, lingering sweetness, very nice.

On tap at Great Notion, pours a clear pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out an inviting mix of blueberry purée, light maple syrup, coffee and some vanilla. Flavour somehow marries the adjuncts amazingly well, with loads of blueberry purée upfront, followed by light coffee, maple syrup and coffee, and then finishing with more blueberry. Decadent.

On tap at the brewery pours a rusty pink color topped with a small ring of a head. Nose is crazy maple coffee blueberries sour tart notes. Taste is more of the coffee maple syrup tart berries. Crazy fun to try.
