Op tap bij The Scrapyard. Zwart, licht-beige kraag. Ruikt en smaakt als een 5% Milk Stout, hint van de blauwe bessen, heel licht zuurtje, koffie met room. Voor een 10% stout weinig uitgesproken.

Blueberry stout with lactose, a collaboration of Northern Irish Boundary with English Zapato (whom I apparently never had a beer from). Can shared with Craftmember. Very loose, pale beige, waferthin and almost completely disappearing head on a black beer with thin burgundy edges. Aroma of milk chocolate, toffee, blueberry jam but no actual blueberries, beef stock cubes, brandy, stewed pear, hazelnut purée, molasses, cane sugar, milk powder, 'sirop de Liège'. Very sweet, syrupy onset, candied dates covered in caramel sauce, but with a light, beef stock-like umami accent too; softish carb, full body, bit sticky. Milk-chocolatey and toffeeish middle with clear oatmeal silkiness to it as well as equally evident lactose sweetness; sweet but long finish with continued blueberry jam stickiness along with brandy-like alcohol, but lacking in bitterness, from hops or roasted malts. A liquid 'praline', or indeed pastry stout, but in a somewhat different way; I was expecting at least some blueberry tartness, but it seems only sticky, sugary blueberry jam is to be found here. Lacking in balance and depth, but I can imagine this appealing to a younger beer geek audience...

Sampled at BXL 18. Thnx for sharing, everyone. Pours black, small dark head. Smell is roasty. Tad sweet, coffee like maltyness. Rather dry. Taste is sharp, coffee. Roasty. Tad sweet. Bit too roasty on the malts. Misses the creamyness. Out of balance as a result.

330ml bottle. Pours deep deel with a deep purple-tinged tan head. Aroma suggests blueberry involvement with chocolate-covered turkish delight also coming to mind. Taste is smooth and rather full on the palate, nice underlying blueberry sweetness though it does taste a lot like turkish delight. Chocolate malts and subtle grainy roast linger. Yeah its quite nice.

Sample @ BXL BeerFest 2018, shared with Belgian RB crew, thanks. Brune foncée-noire, col café au lait, dorée et huileux au verre. Arôme offre un bouquet malté caramel assez doux, rétro moyen de levure, retrouve une douceur en rétro-nasal peut-être l'effet lactose, l'ajout des myrtilles semble un peu 'off' en arôme. Palais est malté, grillé, note douce rappelant le mélanoïde avec un léger fini lactique-lactose et douceur revenant en retrait proche de la vanille mais sûrement du lactose. Effet fruité foncé en retrait.
