Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

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

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, virtually no head to speak of, even after trying to produce one. Very nice ripe blueberry aroma. Flavor lacks the punch of the aroma, blueberry is so very faint in the background, almost non-exsistent. Malt and touches of choclate. A well done dry stout.

On tap at Ashley’s.Very nice blueberry aroma.Pours very dark with little head.Burnt coffee and blueberrys in the flavors.Medium mouthfeel with a sweet finish.

Bottle. The blueberry nose is undeniable. Very nice. Not artificial, but real, freshly crushed blueberries. There’s a hint of coffee behind the sweet/tart blueberries. Pours black with a quickly disappearing brown head. Nicely balanced on the palate with blueberries fading into some lightly roasted malt and espresso flavors. Medium bodied. I like how they used the tartness of the blueberries for aroma and not to make it into a syrupy fruit beer. Nice!

Traded bottle from daknole. I really enjoyed this stout. All the great qualities of a good stout with notes of chocolate and roasted malt plus the slightly sweet notes of blueberries. Nothing was overpowering and berries were just hiding out in the background. Really cool.

Black, pitch black - great looking light brown head - what a stout should look like. Light blueberry at the front of the nose, roasty with hints of coffee. Fruity and fresh smelling. The body is nicely fruity with delectable coffee notes. Very little blueberry in this thing, roasty with a light palate. A very nice base stout - doesn't really need the blueberry, it's barely detectable anyway. Not up to the standard set by other fruit stouts like Bell's Cherry Stout, but a good stout nonetheless.

This is much more of a stout than a fruit beer. The fruit aromas and flavors meld well with the natural esters of the malt and are complemented well by the heavy roastiness. There are big hops in here as well and the bitterness of the roast dovetails nicely with the extending herbal bitterness. I appreciate the full stout flavor -- roasty, chewy and full bodied -- while the fruit and bitter extend the beer beyond the call of duty. Thanks PsychProf!

Poured a deep dark brown with a large brown head. aroma was of roasted malt and blueberries. Taste was roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and subtle hints of blueberry. mouthfeel is light and slightly creamy. The combination of stout and blueberries easily could have been a disaster, but this beer pulls it off fairly well.

(12oz bottle, thanks Pailhead) Used motor oil body topped by small brown head. Aroma is moderately sweet, blueberry, cocoa. Taste is medium sweet, chocolate, blueberry, light roast. Finishes with some roasty coffee, but not particularly bitter. Smooth medium body.
