Opened bottle and was surprised as it foamed over out of the bottle, Strange the bottle hasn’t moved in over two weeks, the temperature was at 45 degrees. The bottom of the bottle however, had a lot of sediment in it, much more than I’ve ever seen in any bottle. After that, I poured it and the aroma was beautiful! Strong blueberry, chocolate, malt, roasted malt, coffee and a hint of smoke. Poured pure black with a dark tan with purple very, very large foamy head that slowly receded into a thick, creamy cap. Very impressive lloking. Left nice lacing on pint. Taste was fantastic! Starts out with a slight chocolate flavor followed by beautiful blueberry, then malt, coffee, touch of smoke, touch of slightly burnt roasted malt, followed by more blueberry. Very good! Body is medium, texture slightly thicker than medium and creamy. After the initial foam over, the very large head I expected it to be overly carbonated But, it was average, much to my surprise. The finish is dry, pleasantly robust with slight bitter and short. Very good! I really enjoyed the beer even though it foamed all over me out of the bottle. LOL.... Seriously, it is one very excellent stout. Very complex, very tasty, very smooth, very creamy. A excellent stout! Great job by Dark Horse. If you like ’em black, creamy, sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste this is one you have to try!

Oct 2, 2008 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!

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle - thanks to pepsican for the trade; pours jet black with thin tan head; aromas of blueberry and chocolate; smells almost like blueberry pancakes soaked in maple syrup; rich with a slight tartness from the blueberries as it tastes like they used wild blueberries; chocolate and roasty in the finish; nice texture to it as well; wow, i thought this was just fantastic

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with yem25. Pours black with a large dark brown head that faded to a ring at mid-glass and left a semi-transparent brown film on the glass with each sip. The aroma of blueberries is very strong, especially right after the pour, with roasted malt and just a bit of chocolate. The flavor is mostly lightly roasted malt with subtle blueberry towards the finish. The blueberry becomes more apparent in the aftertaste and lingers for a few seconds beyond the swallow. Fairly smooth at the finish. Full bodied. A very enjoyable beer.
