With backbreaking work we managed to get copious amounts of blueberries crammed into our fermenters, tumbling about with a generously hopped coffee infused imperial stout. The making of it turned us all into hunchbacks but we think it was worth every crooked vertebra in our bodies.

Svart med høyr beige skum som ligger godt. Lukter havre, papp, mørkt brød og noe lakris. Middels pluss i fylde. Smaker noe halslinser, salt lakris, kaffe, mørk sjokolade og korn. Lite bitterhet. Kort.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 26 Sep 2015) Black colour with frothy pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate and a touch of blueberries. Malty, roasted taste with cacao, dark chocolate, black coffee, blueberries and a generous cacao bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and very well balanced stout, with a good touch of blueberries. Excellent beer!

Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Tangy dark malts, modest roast. Tangy dark fruits resolve in to mild blueberry. A trace of cream and coffee in the malts. Light finish. Not bad.

Draught@SBWF2015. Black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol and some wooden and mild roasted notes. Flavour is quit similar and quite nicely balanced, with blueberries and coffee staying in the aftertaste.
