Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

Had this by the bottle at Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen. This beer has rockstar status!! Quite possibly one of the best beers I’ve ever smelled. Pours a dark, syrupy black color with no head. The most amazing blueberry aromas rise from this glass. I feel like I’m surrrounded by a crop of sweet blueberries in the summer. Aromas of blueberry, chocolate, maybe a little coffee. Tastes entirely different than expected. Not sweet...just an amazing stout with this fresh blueberry flavor. Tastes of dark, bitter chocolate and blueberry. Reminds me of a blueberry muffin!!!

pours very dark brown...almost black, with a thick brown head. Strong blueberry and chocolate aroma. Flavour has good chocolate and coffee tones, mice dark roast malt, the berry is not as prominant as in the aroma bit comes through towards the finish. Some light bitterness as well towards the end.

12 oz bottle. Nice dark black pour with slight head. Nice amt of blueberry flavor to go along with roasted coffee. Pleasant, better than expected.

beautiful pour into a pint glass. Black with a unbeliveable dark brown head. Very nice blueberry and roasted malt aroma. Its a very odd combination its different. The flavor is much of the same but the roasted coffee flavor is very heavy, and a touch of bitter cooking chocolate. Wow this has a bitter bite at the end......yikes it lingers for a bit. Once again craft brewers are really pushing the boundries and Dark Horse is one of the best.

Pours a deep black color. The nose consisted of bitter chocolate, coffee, and quite strong in blueberry. It comes across the palate with chocolate, coffee, and subtle hints of blueberry. Finished smooth with a nice stout bitterness. Their was just enough blueberry in this one. The blueberry doesn’t over power the other characteristics of the beer.

A surprisingly clever beer. Not too much fruit, which is nice. Aroma had me thinking it’d be a fruit punch to the mouth; nice surprise!

12 ounce bottle. As always, I was excited to try a new beer from Dark Horse. I did not know what to expect with this one though... a blueberry stout seemed a bit strange to me. Poured a deep black color with a almost nonexistent brown head. The aromas consisted of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted nuts, and sugary malts. As the beer warmed I could smell some blueberries but nothing overwhelming. The taste was very common of a stout; chocolate and roasty with very faint hints of blueberry. Finished smooth with a nice stout bitterness. Overall a good stout but did not have a lot of blueberry character.

Dark pour with a brown head. Straight Blueberry nose with some bitter chocolate. Interesting flavor. Like a chocolate/blueberry muffin. Thick and creamy. Much better than expectations.
