Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

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

Bottle. Black body with a small dark chocolate brown coloured head. (3+) Surprising amout of sweet blueberry pie-like fruit in the aroma is quite lovely as it preceds a less impressie moderate roasty malt character. The flavour starts with dry roasty malt, with the blueberry of the aroma fading to a distant secondary character. Intriguingly, a bite of a chocolate brownie mid glass seems to bring out the blueberry character of the beer more. Unexpected! Average palate is acceptable but thin for a stout, and just a touch under carbonated for my own liking. 7/4/7/3/15

bottle.....pours just like the rest of them but with a slightly darker brown head.....yummy aromas of blueberry tickle the nose.....flavor is chocolate with stong hints of blueberry and even some smokey roastiness added. extremely smooth texture that accentuates the flavor even more. slightly better than one and too at this point.

This one was amazing, Aroma reminds me of fresh blueberry muffins, Dark color, Tastes great, finishes smooth. This beer inspired me to take a road trip over to their pub.

Pours pitch black, thick as oil with a mostly receding wispy mocha head. Aroma of blueberry, sweet dark bread, chocolate. Taste is fruity and sweet, notes of blueberry muffins, chocolate, and cookie. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lush carbonation. Oh wow this is a nice stout. Glad I picked this one up.

Pours a glossy black with a thin cap of brown head that quickly diminishes to a small ring of bubbles that cling to the edge of the glass. The aroma smells almost exactly like the chocolate covered blueberries that I discovered on a trip to Victoria, BC. There’s just a hint of dark roasted malt in the mix, but the blueberries and chocolate dominate the nose. Nice. Medium-bodied and softly effervescent with a pleasant roasted finish. The flavor is of sweet roasted malt with solid blueberry and faint chocolate notes. I’m not quite sure why this one is categorized as a dry stout versus a sweet stout, but regardless of its classification, this is an exceptional brew.

Bouteille 12 oz, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez assez fruité (bleuets frais, petites notes de cerises), de malt assez rôti, de chocolat noir, léger de bois fumé ainsi que des notes de café et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement huileuse et crémeuse. Goût fruité (bleuet légèrement sucrés, présent toute la gorgée) et lactique (léger chocolat au lait avec des notes de yogourt de bleuets) avec un léger goût de fumée de bois lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût moyennement amer de malt très rôti (voire brûlé) avec un moyen goût de chocolat noir puis un moyen goût de café se rajoute progressivement jusqu’en finale, accompagné d’un léger goût de houblon herbeux ainsi que des traces de noix asséchantes et d’épices (poivre). Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti, moyen de chocolat, léger de café et de houblon herbeux avec des notes fruitées (pelures de bleuets).

Pours a black color with a small brown head. Aroma is strong blueberry with chocolate and roasted malts. Blueberry taste isn’t overpowing and meshes well with the chocolate. It’s not a harsh stout but very easy to drink and pretty well balanced.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This stout poured a slick, oily black with no head. Just a few lingering tan bubbles. The aroma was made up of strong blueberry notes and chocolate. The flavor included blueberry, chocolate, and roasted malts. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a lasting dry finish. Very fruity and tasty.
