Second one tonight from the Lake of the Woods Brewery. A strong ale that has been flavoured with wild blueberries.

Onto the tasting...

Pours a cloudy orange brown with a fluffy head that is tinged purple. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a background of light caramel. First sip is sweet and tart purple fruit with a nice malt backdrop. The fruit becomes more evident as the beer warms. Aeration gives us a kick of alcohol with some brandy and blueberry notes.

Final Thoughts:

An Interesting beer. The blueberries gave a nice tart sweetness to the background of the beer without overpowering it. However I can't say it was my favourite beer this year. Still worth a try.

Cheers
