This was a new bier that they had at Cafe 't Pothuiske, so I opted to give it a try. A 0.33l bottle cost €3.95. Sampled on 01OCT14. Brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops, then dry-hopped with Saphir. Munich, Amber and Special B malts, and had 40 IBUs. Best before date of 05/2018.

Poured into a tulip, it was a very dark mahogany, nearly opaque. It was a touch cloudy, with an immense head. It started at about 3", towering over the rim. It was beige colored, and creamy and mousse-like, slowly sinking down. Nose was held back a bit, and displayed unexpected fruityness. It felt smooth, and the body was middle of the road.

Taste was also rather fruity. There was a bit of caramel, but more green apple, pear, and blueberry. What's up with that? It was then that I really took a hard look at the label and noticed it had blueberry extract amongst the ingredients, as well as some blueberries adorning the label. What's up with that? Not what I was expecting at all, and the Cafe menu did not indicate it had blueberries. Oh well.... Prosit!
