Bottled 650ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Almost black coloured, small to medium sized brown head, chocolate and blueberry in the nose. Roasted malt, light chocolate and intensive blueberry taste with also light chocolate and blueberry finish. Alcohol well hidden. Not so bad like Pumpkin but also not so good as I’ve expected.

65 cl bottle, 9%. Dark brown to almost black color, thick creamy brownish head. Peculiar smell right off the cap, then chocolate and fruit. Aroma is chocolate, dark chocolate with a pungent blueberry aftertaste. Taste is well balanced, fruity sweetness and dark chocolate bitterness, hops stays behind. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, absolutely tasty and to be tried once.

Confused on aroma, it smells just like fresh blueberries, even a blueberry muffin, which was nice, but at the same time strange in a beer. Dark opaque near black color, khaki small head. Flavor had the same fresh blueberry, with a bite, some astringency from black roasty malts, bitter dark chocolate, almost acrid - here the blueberry really failed to mesh with the bitter astringent malts. As the beer approached room temp, it became a little sweeter and this helped a lot, it was a lot easier to finish than it was to start (started around 55 deg, finished closer to 65-70)

Bottle - chosen because my wife loves blueberries. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head and some lacing. Aroma is very blueberry, with notes of roasty, cocoa, molasses. Flavor is fairly sweet, but with decent counteracing bitterness, and a pleasant blueberry-stout mix, fruit forward so I can see why this is categorized as such. Medium to lightish body for the style, plenty of carbonation. I was honestly not expecting much from this one, but it was not bad at all.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber with medium beige head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a very strong blueberry and some coffee. Medium mouthfeel with a bitter fruit flavor and light coffee in the finish. Decent.
