Bottled. Pitch black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some berries, mild toasted tones with a bit of wood and earth. Flavour is berries, roasted malts, some toffee, toasted tones and mild toffee tones. Easy going Imp Pastry Stout.

Op tap bij The Scrapyard. Zwart, licht-beige kraag. Ruikt en smaakt als een 5% Milk Stout, hint van de blauwe bessen, heel licht zuurtje, koffie met room. Voor een 10% stout weinig uitgesproken.

Can: Poured a deep brown black with a huge carbonated and cream brown head. Aroma is berry fruit, dark malts. Taste is carbonated, blueberry, light chocolate, and malty.

Next one please!

Blueberry stout with lactose, a collaboration of Northern Irish Boundary with English Zapato (whom I apparently never had a beer from). Can shared with Craftmember. Very loose, pale beige, waferthin and almost completely disappearing head on a black beer with thin burgundy edges. Aroma of milk chocolate, toffee, blueberry jam but no actual blueberries, beef stock cubes, brandy, stewed pear, hazelnut purée, molasses, cane sugar, milk powder, 'sirop de Liège'. Very sweet, syrupy onset, candied dates covered in caramel sauce, but with a light, beef stock-like umami accent too; softish carb, full body, bit sticky. Milk-chocolatey and toffeeish middle with clear oatmeal silkiness to it as well as equally evident lactose sweetness; sweet but long finish with continued blueberry jam stickiness along with brandy-like alcohol, but lacking in bitterness, from hops or roasted malts. A liquid 'praline', or indeed pastry stout, but in a somewhat different way; I was expecting at least some blueberry tartness, but it seems only sticky, sugary blueberry jam is to be found here. Lacking in balance and depth, but I can imagine this appealing to a younger beer geek audience...
