Appearance: Pours jet black with a tan film that makes some noise as it fades to a collar; leggy with dots and streaks sliding down

Smell: Char and chocolate along with fruity blueberry notes; hints of vanilla and coconut

Taste: Chocolate and blueberry foward with a growing charred flavor; mid-palate brings some molasses sweetness; in the finish, there are hints of vanilla and coconut

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with relatively high carbonation

Overall: This beer has held up well over four years though the mouthfeel isn't quite right for the style

16oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours black in color with one of the darkest brown heads that I've ever seen, eventually disappears completely

S- charred malt and chocolate up front, along with fruity blueberry notes, as well as a hint of vanilla, not finding the coconut.

T- Sweet chocolate and roasted malt up front, along with a hint of char. Mid-palate gives notes of chocolate syrup and molasses. The blueberry really pops out as it nears the finish and continues through to the linger, as well as a hint of vanilla

M- medium-heavy body with high carbonation leads to a thick foamy mouthfeel and a viscous, almost syrupy mouthfeel

O- a bit rough around the edges at times, but the blueberry works well, making for an enjoyable stout

 

Poured lighter black with active carbonation forming into a brown head. Smell featured roasted malts, vanilla, dark cocoa nibs, and very faint blueberry, no coconut. Taste hits you hard with the cocoa, roasted malt, and general sugar, but the blueberry is no where to be seen. The coconut and vanilla pair together, but as a couple they are inconsistent sip to sip. Overall bitter and weirdly sweet, not cohesive. Feel is lighter for an imperial stout, way too active carbonation, sugary, and roasted.
