440ml can from Farmers Bar, Subang Parade, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark reddish brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is big blueberries. The flavour is light sweet and sour, with a smooth, rich, light roasty, light tart but big blueberry, herbal, earthy, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Tap at Zil verne. Full body, med-high carbonation. Med-high roasty bitterness, med-light sweetness. Lots of chocolatey and cocoa maltiness, rather low deep roast presence. Medium blueberry, very light vanilla - which is great. Overall very tasty, easy drinking, with hidden ABV, almost no warmth. Great beer.

Can with Brandt and Zhenya. Blackish body, off-white head. Creamy, toasty aroma, bit buttery blueberry. Lean, soft taste, sweet, cocoa, nutty, vague cardboard, trace vanilla, less blueberries than expected but there are some light jammy notes and some mild tartness. Nah, not great.

0.44 l can shared with little Dina. Dark brown, small head. Dried fruit at first, prunes and then blueberry. Notes of roasted malts, vanilla, nuts. There are some notes of blackberry wine, a touch of tartness. Thick, strong, sticky, nice blueberry tartness, nice roasty bitterness. Warming, a bit alcoholic. Dry finish.
