Picked up a single from the Appalachian Vintner in Asheville 8-4-22 for $2.29. Canned i think on 3-2-22; consumed 11-14-22.

Beer poured brown with a very nice off white head.

Nose has a touch of blueberry on top of lightly roasted malts.

Taste is really well done, a small lightly roasted malt base that is spiced with a light hand of blueberries. Finishes with a touch of coffee that balances the beer perfectly.

Mouthfeel is light bodied and pretty refreshing.

Overall the brewing team has this recipe dialed in very well!

Drinking this at The Parsons Pub in downtown Murphy NC.
Poured from the a tap into a pint glass.
Looks dark brown almost black with a nice tannish foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells malty, spicy, sweet, coffee and blueberry.
Taste follows the nose nicely with the coffee on the front and the blueberry on the back of my palate.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very good example a Porter that I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

From tap at boojum - very dark, tan head, lacing....wonderful coffee, chocolate and blueberry notes in the nose, and they are really there in the taste. it is so well balanced and not overpowering with any of the accents, no fake blueberry taste or sugary bullshit, just a wonderful balanced and really drinkable porter. Absolutely try this one.

Bought a six pack a non descript gas station just outside of town in NC. This still isn't normal to me.

Rare Vos glass @ home. Black on brown body. Not much head.

Smells of dark malt, iron, acidic coffee, very faint blueberry skin, oxidation.

Taste subtly pushes the earthy blueberry note upfront without much if any sweet blueberry flavor. Excellent restraint. Coffee is bitter, soot-y & strong. Malt is dark & mellow. Light iron note on the finish.

Texture is that of a thin porter. Carbonation is a bit low. Alcohol seems stronger than the measly 5.0%.

This craft beer is dirt cheap & propels an already good beer to an excellent selection.

Can dated 12/11/19, purchased in a mixed 6 grocery run in Boojum's very town of Waynesville NC . Poured up deep and dark into 2 mini tumblers (sharing this one), with nice airy head.

Looks dark brown, dark fiery highlights at edges .

SMELLS AMAZING!!! Nothing is overdone , just beautiful. Must be tried to really enjoy, as describing it is difficult: Light fruitiness, roast coffee in the breeze, blended like in the window if a nice country home.

Tastes wonderfully roasty and malty, but light and tart and fizzy and great fun. If you've been to Graveyard Fields up on the Blue Ridge nearby, you'd agree this is a fitting tribute. Superb.

Feels so light and tingly, you wanna keep on having more!

As good or better than I expected, and having enjoyed several Boojum brews and visits - expectations were high.
Did Not Disappoint . Great place with great brews!

A bright light shined into reveals a reddish brown translucent beer. The tan head is thin and fades quickly without leaving much behind. Roasty malt, blueberry, and coffee fill the nose. The taste is lightly sweet blueberry coffee with some roasted malt and a char bitterness at the end. Quite a tasty beer.

12 ounce can from NC into a Fat Cat glass. No dating. Repeated July 2017.
Pours dark brown/black in color and is nearly opaque in the glass. The moderate size head is creamy, durable, and leaves ample lacing.

Aroma: roasted coffee, with blueberries, vanilla, roasted nuts and dark grains.

Flavor: the coffee flavor seems a bit stale (only 1 of 2 cans) but mixes well with the more subtle blueberry flavor. Hints of chocolate, roasted nuts, toffee, smoke and vanilla. Very mild bitterness.

Feel: medium+ body that's very smooth and appropriately carbonated (medium-light).
