It’s time to celebrate two decades of barrel-aging imperial stouts with KBS Blueberry. In honor of the 20th anniversary of KBS, we’ve given this legendary beer a dose of Michigan blueberries. The alluring aroma of dessert brings you in, while layers of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, oak and bourbon barrel notes become more profound with every sip. A sweet and sophisticated tribute to a world-renowned beer.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, small beige head. Aroma of bluberries, vanilla and chocolate. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Bourbony chocolate, blueberries and coffee. Peppery finish. No, blueberry doesn't add anything positive in this beer either.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black, with a big, frothy, brown head. The nose is dark chocolate, mild raspberry, cinnamon, and light soy. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, dusty bitterness. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, and kinda acidic. Nice, flavorful stout.

bottle from meny, toftegårds plads, valby. roasted malts, chocolate, toffee aroma, hint of sweet blueberries, initial impression is wow wow, but after a while it gets a bit more ordinary. still pretty darn good though. pastry stoutish. A lot of blueberry sourness in the flavor, but is based with a solid roasted malty and chocolatey flavor. some fruity and alc. bitterness, parts of the brew reminds me of the strong american fruit beers i tasted a century ago, but the bas beer gently overpowers the fruitybitter flavors and it all ends pretty well. mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth and velvety.
