Buffalo Bills Blueberry Stout

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

Probly one of weakest excuses for a oatmeal stout i have ever encountered. Very thin and light in color and a artificial blueberry taste!! If i could give a lower score i would!

bottle - Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. The smell is almost all blueberries. Where’s the stout? The taste is really dominated by the blueberries and unfortunately there’s some blueberry flavoring of some kind involved, not just fresh blueberries. It’s obvious and I guess explains the "natural flavoring" mentioned on the label. There’s a little malt in there too, but I expected more from a "stout". It’s medium bodied and while drinkable, the blueberry is not well done at all. I wonder if this is what would happen if A-B made a blueberry stout.

Nice aroma and coloring. The flavor was good at the start but the finish was too tart and not quite right. The beer had a good start but lacks the overall flavoring of a good fruit beer. The stout flavor was pretty good.

12oz bottle. Pours brown with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of IHOP blueberry syrup and feet. Dominant imitation blueberry flavor with a touch of hop. The bright side is this is better than their Pumpkin Ale.

This straight up smells like $.39 Jiffy imitation blueberry pancake mix, which I absolutely love. This tastes like some kind of Mexican amber lager mixed with chocolate and expired imitation blueberry syrup that has somehow made the move with you between your last three apartments, which I did not love. Filed under: WTF.

Had a bottle of this at the Bocktown, nice place. Once popped, it does have this interesting background of blueberry aroma. The look is not opague like most stouts, it’s more of a red rootbeer kind of look. Taste is all bitter stout during the session but after each slug I do get just a tad of blueberry in there mon the back of the throat. Medicinal and difficult at times, seems like a lot higher abv than 5%. It even borders on impy stout stature on the finish.

Bottle shows an oatmeal stout. Courtesy of Tilley4. Intrigued by the aspect of tasting a blueberry stout, I knew the actual blueberry would give this beer some acidic notes. Aroma is just filled with blueberries, and not much else transpires from the aroma. Taste begins as something interesting and quickly turns into another Buffalo disappointment. Some nice floral hops do again get smother by the overwhelming presence of the blueberries. Overall palate has hints of oat and gains in acidity as the beer warms up. An interesting idea, just nothing of a stout to be noted.

Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Pours a very dark reddish color, with a very big creamy head and tan lacing. Nose is big on blueberry, feels somewhat, but takes on some smoked meat characteristics. Flavor is blueberry with some raspberry, odd dry salted meat, an acidity component. Weird, but unique, drinkable I guess in small amounts, medium-bodied. Bizarre.
