From the brewer

This beer is a hybrid between a Porter and a Scotch Ale. This beer has a rich mouth feel and a body of complex intensity. Upfront, there are distinct flavors of coffee and chocolate beautifully accentuated by the aroma of fresh blueberries. The finish features a delicate balance of sweet fruit and dry hops.

Who's been drinking this

Refreshing in the same way a glass of cold grape juice is. As a beer though...
Blegh fake blueberry residual flavor that keeps lingering.
Smells strongly of blueberry, but the flavor is more like a shell of an idea. No hint of juice, just skins and seeds, tannic and astringent on the finish. There is dry sweetness from the malt, but it just creates more dissonance with the desire to taste fruit juice. An unpleasant residual sense of blueberry does linger on afterwards, and for quite a while.
