Bottle. Black body with a big, dense brown head. Pleasant, rather mild aroma of malt and fruit. Flavor feels a bit odd, toasted malt, coffee and fruit/berries. It doesn't have to be wrong to mix coffee and blueberries (think cake) but I found this version a bit unbalanced somehow. Fine body, average aftertaste and definitively drinkable and interesting.

330 ml bottle from Systembolaget Uppsala, bb Dec 2018.
Black body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, coffee-colored head.
Aroma of coffee, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, moderate blueberries, some liquorice, subtle lactose.
Tastes quite similar, with a bit more blueberries and lactose, but less diverse than the nose.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes roasty, a bit dry, slightly sweet, a bit wooden, a bit milky, with coffee, cocoa, some blueberries.
Very nice. Maybe a bit lighter bodied for the style, but really smooth and balanced, with well integrated coffee and blueberries. Alcohol is completely hidden. Enjoyable, well drinkable stuff.

Coal black stuff with a fine beige head. Ok lacing and a fine pleasant aroma. Some blueberry even there. Medium + body and a fine smooth carbonation level. Creamy texture and a fine mellow sweetness. Dark malt, chocolate, toffee, roast and blueberry. A really lovely, tasty and pleasant impy. Absolutely recommendable.
