22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 9/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep/dark ruby red/purple color with a small dense light pink head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers.

Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, raisin, plum, prune, fig, date, pear, red apple, red grape, lime, citrus zest, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of molasses, nuttiness, pepper, roast, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness.

Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, raisin, plum, prune, fig, date, pear, red apple, red grape, lime, citrus zest, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of molasses, nuttiness, pepper, roast, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, raisin, plum, prune, fig, date, pear, red apple, red grape, lime, citrus zest, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light molasses/pepper, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of blueberries, lime zest, fruity/light spicy yeast, and dark/bready malt sweetness; with a nice malt/spiciness and tart/tangy fruit balance, with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/tangy fruit and spicy yeast. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy, and lightly slick/syrupy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 12%. Overall this is an excellent imperial fruit beer! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of blueberries, lime zest, fruity/light spicy yeast, and dark/bready malt sweetness; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the huge ABV. Was not sure what to expect. This tastes like a fruited Belgian Strong Dark ale, with a fuller/stronger malty sweet finish. Very well balanced fruit, malts, and yeast esters; not overly sweet with adequate lingering dryness. A very impressive, unique, and enjoyable offering. Not overdone on any aspect.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2018-01 getrunken. Wow! Das ist eine süße Blaubeer-Bombe in dunklen Belgischen Stil. Ein fettes malziges Teil. So simpel kann einfach geil sein. Ein wunderbares Winterbier! Aus der Flasche im 2020-07 getrunken. Wow! Das ist eine süßliche Blaubeer-Bombe in dunklen Belgischen Stil. Ein fettes malziges Teil. Nach gut 2 Jahren Flaschenreifung ist kräftige Süße deutlich zurück gegangen und das Aroma ist komplexer geworden. Einfach ein wunderbares Fruchtbier für die dunkle Jahrszeit!
