Original Blueberry Slab Cake Ice Cream
Buxton Brewery

330 mL bottle. Pours bright purple. Smells of cream, vanilla, and deep berry. Tastes of stronger berry. Just a bit tart. Lots of vanilla and cream. Medium body. I think I like the raspberry better. It's tartness gave it an extra dynamic.

 

33cl bottle served in a tulip. Pours a lovely translucent cranberry hue with a fluffy/fizzy, half inch, pink-tinged head that slowly dissipates into a sudsy slicks the uniformly disperses itself towards the shoulders. Nose is kind of weird - very muddled. I get some blueberry esters as well as some vegetal/herbal notes as well as a suggestion of something sweet in the mix. All that said, not really digging the nose on this. Taste is interesting - muted and slightly watery; however, a shot of vanilla inserts itself in the flavor profile. I definitely get an sorbet/sherbet vibe on this but it's not overly flavorful. Mouthfeel is light in body with an easy carbonation and a mild acidity. Overall, a bit lackluster for the style and this brewer.

A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 12th December 2018. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Appearance: A hazy purple red (near beetroot) colour with a one finger pinkish head that had decent retention, but left only sparse lacing.

Aroma: Creamy, vanilla ice cream, milk candy, lactose, sweet and very lightly tart blueberry.

Taste: Sweet and tart blueberry, lightly sour, vanilla ice cream with a light caramel nuttiness on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium to light bodied with moderate to low carbonation.

Overall: This was interesting with its blueberry and vanilla ice cream flavours. But I think the raspberry version was better and more balanced.

Soft Serve.

A: Blueberries, cream, vanilla, with a moderate sweetness and moderately light sourness.

A: Deep purple, clear, with a light purple slushie head, with a dense white head on top. The soft-serve causes an everlasting head.

T: Blueberries, lightly sweet, cocoa powder, light vanilla, with a moderate sourness that lingers through the finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, with a smooth, creamy mouth-feel.

O: Interesting; the beer has a complex creamy blueberry quality with a smooth mouth-feel making it very refreshing!

Look: A deep purple with a thin white head. Has medium carbonation.
Smell: Blueberry cheesecake, almonds, lactose, and grass.
Taste: Slightly tart, blueberry cheesecake, lactose, and grass.
Mouthfeel: Medium light.
Overall: An interesting fruit beer worth drinking, just a little too weird for me.

From Saveur Biere. In Teku glass. Playing Neighboring Islands. Very complex, with an original combination of sour notes from the blueberries with vanilla and lactose that works suprisingly well

 

It pours a nice purple colour, no head.
The blueberry is there all along. Small but very nice tartness. Nice vanilla and chocolate presence. Some citrusy hop presence. Very drinkable

Poured to a Omnipollo glass.

A: The body is red to purple, having a pink head of one finger thickness. The body is a bit hazy.
S: The aroma is a bit off of chocolate - I never had a Blueberry Slab Cake but I imagine it without chocolate. Was actually expecting more blueberry in here.
T: Taste starts off to a wonderful bluebrry yogurt like flavour, having just a hint of sour cherries in the back. The end of the sip has just a very mild sourness and ends with almost no bitterness but with a lively carbonated and taste of chocolate.
M: Body is low. Carbonation is too high. Alcohol is unnoticeable. Sourness is mild and bitterness is low.
O: Good for a fruit beer but could be better for Omnipollo's standards.

L: Fruity, cranberry juice, one finger pink head, superb lacing, plenty of carbonation.

S: Sour, sweet, fruity.

T: Sour but smooth, sweet, fruity. Very good.

F: Medium bodied, silky smooth.

O: Another great beer from Omnipollo. And I don't even like sours!

Pours a deep purple with low pink foam.

Smell is chocolatey with a fistful of blueberries folowed by some fudge and coffee.

Taste start wth some tart blueberries, then adds chocolate cake steeped in coffee and fudge. Pretty complex for the ABV.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a tasty dessert beer that develops quite a bit as it warms.

 

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza. Aroma has fruity coffee notes with berries and cocoa powder. Taste is tart and fruity, really well balanced with some coffee bitterness and berry notes.
