Bottle as shown. Pours a clear golden with a small white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is a very sweet fruit with blueberry and light hop. Decent lacing along the glass. The taste is similar to the aroma with a strong blueberry and a tart finish. A good fruit beer if you like blueberries with it very present with this brew.

Bottle marked as best before 12/31/07 thanks to brentfresh. Age has treated this well! Pours thick with a large, fluffy, mocha color head that has good retention. Black body. Room filling aroma of roast, tons of chocolate syrup, a bit of smoke too. Very nice. Mocha and chocolate malt. Taste is mocha, rich, smokey, cocoa and a malted mocha milkshake. Very syrupy and full, mouthcoating. Light bubbles.
