Oud Blue'b
Long Beach Beer Lab

Bottle at share. Dark brown pour, clear, light htan ead. Aroma is blueberries, light oud. A bit more tartness in the taste, traditional flanders notes.

From bottle:

L: Strong carb from the bottle; slow pour produced tawny, ample head that reduced to an inch or so that stayed around for a minute or two before tapering to a ring. Color a dark mahogany near the edges.
S: Cherries, fruit, oak.
T: Lots going on - berries and tartness at the start, oak, some rich coffee flavor that follows, and lingering sourness again on the finish. I don't get blueberries per se, but definitely in the family.
F: Very bright carbonation that nicely cut through. Mouthfeel was rather light. Alcohol does not announce itself.

 

A tart pop announces the bottle opening and a hearty pour releases a deep brown liquid that throws up a frantic beige head of foam that fizzles like mad until it is nothing but a foggy memory of foamy heads gone by.
Dipping my nose toward that still active brown liquid I am washed over by a tide of light pastry filling, sour cream, blueberry, sugared puff dough. All of these are soft, gentle aromas that swirl and dance together nicely.
The flavor is subtle as well, a drying tartness presides over the whole thing, ushering along pleasantly restrained vanilla creme flavors and vague dark fruit notes. A slightly more expressive blueberry note comes through as the beer warms.
Mouthfeel is incredibly light, it dances across the tongue. The tartness leaves some little dryness across the palate but not enough to be caustic, just enough to entice another sip.
Overall this is a delightful beer. It's super refreshing to see someone using flavorings with a restrained hand instead of just trying to make a beer that tastes like an artificial version of a popular dessert or breakfast food. Wonderful mix of tart and sweet with a really enjoyable complexity of flavor.

my first from these guys, an awesome little bottle of beer, really different and immediately mature and high end to me, i love the packaging and i love the beer in the bottle, now i am keen for more of their stuff, not sure how long they have been on the scene, but i am impressed! this is a wild dark ale with blueberries, and lots of them. it pours a medium brown shade with a little garnet hue to the edges and with almost a full inch of light brown head on top, creamy looking and lasting. the nose is really complex, way more than just blueberries here, as much of them as are here and as real as they are. i also get dry cocoa powder, a dusty almost german aspect to the malt, a strong hit of red wine and other berry fruitiness, some vinegar sourness, almost a red wine vinegar, wild bretty funk, wet straw, and dark bread. really complex. the flavor has just as much going on, tart and tannic from the blueberries, some cooked blueberry sweetness for a second too, cocoa and unsweetened dark chocolate, puckery acetic sourness, and a little of the vanilla thats in here, but this element is nicely restrained, more wild and funky than vanilla porter to me. amazingly woody and mature, and i love how dry the darker malt is. there is a light hint to how strong it is at the end, but the body remains light and the carbonation is pretty uplifting here. tons of flavor in this, lots of blueberry but complex well beyond the fruit. the fermentation profile is great, and this seems super well built and patiently done, all who shared the bottle really dug it. ill be on the hunt for more from these guys, this was a real treat! some lambic character to this...

 

From Winooski Beverage, VT. Bottle to tulip.
The appearance was a dark ruby brown/red to closer to black towards the center. Bubbly and semi-foamy head fizzled out fairly quick to leave no lace.
The aroma had shaved semi-sweet to tart blueberry flesh and tart character rolling into some dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Some roasty vanilla bean underneath.
The flavor definitely leaned towards the sour feature of it all in the front while the dark chocolate tries to push forward and some blueberries but yes, honestly, the sour-ness of the blueberries and some Brett really substantiate throughout most of my consumption. The aftertaste definitely takes hold of the sour blueberries.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt good for the most part. Finish was all about the sour blueberries, dark chocolate tries to spring some strength but even that has a hard time coming through.
Overall, the brewer might say tart blueberry porter, but this was more of a wild ale as BA says. I'd have this again.

Carnivale Brettanomyces 2019. Small size sample from bottle in de Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Pours very dark, almost black with hardly any head. Aroma's of dark chocolate and blueberry, with additional sourness retronasal. Flavour is sour with cheap cocoa. Medium bodied. Long finish with cocoa and vanilla.
