Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

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

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, blueberry, and a hint of coffee. Poured pitch black in color with a small to medium-sized, creamy, dense, brown head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout. Opaque. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of blueberry, roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of cream. Medium to full body. Average texture. Soft to average carbonation. Roasted malt, blueberry and slight tar finish is a tad chalky.

Dark brown/ black pour with tan head that settles. Aroma of roast, smoke, blueberries, some chocolate, some meat. Flavor is meaty with blueberries. Kind of a weird combo that is solved with some smoke, some roast, some chocolate. The blueberry and roast meld in the finish. Full mouthfeel. I don’t really dig blueberries that much, so that’s putting a damper on my enjoyment of this beer.

A - Pours a dark, dark brown that just begs you to get lost inside. Mocha colored head that dissipates very quickly. S - Blueberry(who would’ve figured) and roasted malt. Fantastic, I wish they made a candle that smelled like this. T - The blueberry is much more subtle in the taste as opposed to the smell. Big roasty flavors. Some coffee. Big roast. Very good. M - A little thin. Not bad but not great. At 4.5% what do you expect though. D - I find this to be very drinkable. Great flavor and only 4.5 ABV. If I was the type to drink one beer all night I could do this one easily.

blueberry on the nose. very dark pour, with a beige head just how i like it. head dissipates quickly, but i really thought this was a pretty beer. dark horse does a great job. blueberry is present in the taste, but not overwhelming, and overall the beer is not too sweet, which i feared would be the case. only 4.5%abv, i think an imperial version of this would be nice.

bottle thanks to Keir, pours black with a medium dark tan head. Aroma is black patent malt, faint blueberry, and some coffee. Chocolate malt and a light blueberry finish with light flavors of coffee. Not bad.

Soda an floral blueberry blossome nose. Full boddied head settles quickly a little slick. Dry but smooth with dark chocolate and skins.

bottle, from trade with barleypops. Ok aroma, bittersweet, roasted malts, chocolate, coffee with blueberry jelly. Dark brownish black color, small head, no lace. Bitter sweet flavor, Lite body, smooth oily creamy mouthfeel, Bitter sweet dry finish. Good, but nothing exciting, very drinkable,

Pour is nearly black. The beer has a thin tan head at first, but swirl it around a bit and it thickens considerably with tons of lacing. You can definitely pick up the blueberry in the nose, along with licorice and alcohol. The roasted malt character is lost a bit in the aroma and the taste, which is again licorice and blueberry, as well as some chocolate and coffee. I think this beer has an excellent kind of silky mouthfeel to it. The finish is slightly bitter dark chocolate.
