Dogfish Head Black and Blue

A tutti frutti beer! Mild berry taste, well balanced - hops blend well in with the berries. Both sweet and dry. Refeshing and deceivingly easy drinking.

750 ml btl from Bevmo Tempe. The words fruit and beer usualy dont work for me but, thats not the case with this beer. Great nose of black and blueberries. Nice and mellow on the pallet, could have drank it all night.

Mixed aroma of blueberry and blackberry. Huge frothy white initial apperance. Excellent lacing. Clear red body. Moderate sweet flavor. Medium palate.

The aroma of berries sneaks through a little bit. Thin head. It is a solid fruit beer but it has a serious kick @ 10% alcohol. Decent beer, I would be likely to drink it more often if it was available in 12 ounce bottles.

Big bottle, $12.49 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville, VA. Reddish amber with an inch of pinkish head. Aromas of berry fruit. Alcohol with some fruitiness in the back end. Not bad at all, but nothing I’d drink on a regular basis.

Medium amber, red color, clear. Aroma with dark fruit and licorice. Heavy sweet flavor. Long duration. Medium to full body. Soft carbonation.

Lightly hazy, glowing, reddish-orange amber body with some floating particulate. A small, fizzy, off-white head quickly recedes to a wispy film. Virtually no lacing noted. The aroma shows a surprisingly strong caramel malt base. Strawberry jam shows on the nose, perhaps a weird mixture of the blueberries and blackberries. The aroma is quite sweet, though not exceedingly so. Flavors are lighter than expected, with sweet caramel and berries dominating. There is a light toastiness that fades into sweetness pretty quickly. Moderate, peppery spices add a nice balance on the finish. Medium bodied and smooth. It’s lightly syrupy, but not as badly as I was expecting. Pretty nice brew. A bit underrated.

(on bottle)Like taking a walk in the late-summer forrest; earthy, fruity, zingy and heavy.
