Buffalo Bills Blueberry Stout

Brewed by Buffalo Bills Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Hayward, California USA

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear ruby color with a medium frothy brown head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Medium berry friut and chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This soft fruity beer met my expectations.

Dark brown pour with a soft light khaki head. Big sweet blueberry nose, like some sort of sweet candy. I thought it was going to be repulsive, but it wasn’t all that bad, but I probably wouldn’t get this again, a bit sweet and far to much blueberry. Soft spiciness to it with a bitter and slightly tart note to the finish.

Heavy blueberry nose. Dark red pour with a tan short-lived head. A muddy mix of tart blueberry and roasted malt that finishes kind of sour. Better than I was expecting but not what I was hoping for.

Bottle. This definitely exceeded the low expectations that I had for a blueberry stout. Dark black with a strong, pleasing blueberry aroma. Fairly good balance between malts and blueberry, but I could have used a tad less blueberry flavor and especially sweetness.

Bottle. Poured black with cafe au lait head. Aroma of blueberries, just blueberries. Flavour is surprisingly balanced. Bluberries, a little spice, some malt. Thin finish, just dtops off the table.

In the bottle from Inari Wines. Pours black with a dark beige head. This has an intense blueberry aroma. The very silky palate is amazing. All of the mouthfeel is up front as this ends up having a light finish.

Real dark red pour with a tan head. Aroma of blueberry and roasted malts. Flavor is roasted malts, burnt, with some sweet blueberry. Some bitterness at the end. Medium body.

Strong blueberry nose at first that mellows to mix of blueberry and roasted malts. Moderate sweetness with and lingering bitter and on the swallow. Pretty thin for a stout, but still interesting to try once.
