Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

Brewed by Dark Horse Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Marshall, Michigan USA

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.

In short: A highly roasted blueberry stout. An interesting and almost successful attempt (almost).
How: Bottle 12oz, age unknown. From HogtownHarry, thanks a lot Harry.
The look: Black body topped by a tan ring of foam
In long: Nose is highly roasted, some black coffee and only a little hint of blueberries. Taste has the blueberries more upfront and adds molasses and chocolate notes to the black coffee and highly roasted flavours detectable from the nose. Body is full, carbonation is lively. The beer has an overall dry sensation. I was very much intrigued by this beer and I’m glad I got to try it. The result was not as good as I hopped nor was it as bad as I feared, so I was both relieved and saddened, like the time I peed myself in my favourite jeans.

Pours a rich black color with a small tan head. Nose is rich of chocolate, blueberries, roasted malt, molasses, brown sugar. Initial taste is deeply roasted, dark chocolate, caramel, molasses. Mid Palate displays light blueberries, black coffee, continuing roasted malt. Finishing silky smooth with a great palate duration. Medium body. Overall very delicious,.

Bottle number 3 shared with G-Money thanks homie. Poured black in color with with a red head. Aroma is ver nice, blueberrys, along with chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor is similar with a slight alcohol taste. Finished very smooth. My Favorite out of the 5.

Bottle from stfun, thanks josh! By far the best out of the five beers tonight. Light hint of blueberry in the aroma. Dark color, followed by a red head which I have never seen before in a beer. Taste was a nice touch of blueberries in a stout. But it still had the stout characteristics. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Good smooth texture, which made it easy to drink. Overall a really good brew, thanks Josh for this one!
