Blue Magic
A strong stout made with blueberry, built on pale and Munich malts, flaked oats, chocolate malt and Carafa III; the brewery names no hops. The nose recalls blueberry pie. The base of toasted oats and chocolate-forward malts gives depth and a velvety smoothness, and a jammy, tart berry note cuts through the rich cocoa character. The palate shows smooth fruitiness and subtle sweetness, the finish is rich and indulgent. The head brewer also mentions vanilla. First released in June 2026.
