2/18/19 (Chicago): $6.50 (with tax and tip) purchased to go at Half Acre. 16 ounce canned on 8/29/18 poured into pint glass. Dark black pour, creamy reach tan head, dissipates leaving light lacing. Milk chocolate and malt the predominate aromas. Taste matches aroma but light blueberry taste also emerges. Carbonation holds well, creamy rich mouth feel, easy smooth drinking. Overall very good pour.

Tasted in a Spiegelau stout glass from a 12 fl oz can on October 15, 2018. The blueberry essence is very subtle, but I think that is the point. Smooth and creamy.

Canned 8/29/18; drank 9/28/18 @ the Yarchives.
Black/brown appearance.
A violent pour yielded a HUGE dark tan head (careful pouring!); thick lace.
Fresh plants & blueberry notes in the nose.
Creamy medium mouthfeel.
The flavor is like biting a plant leaf with some blueberry.
Turns out dry hopping a milk stout is...a bad idea. Interesting but ultimately off-putting.
