Dogfish Head Black and Blue

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Milton, Delaware USA

Pours a nice reddish color. Aroma with hints of fruit. Very long lasting frothy head. More of a blackberry taste. I couldn’t appreciate the blueberry much. Not a bad beer overall.

Pours a redish color. Head is a very light redish hue. Aroma was a little heavy on the alcohol (10%), but surprisingly it wasn’t as prominent in the taste. Flavor is that of berries - notably blackberries and blueberries (only makes sense).

Black and Blue was an interesting beer to say the least. It was nicely done as far as fruit beers go. The color was a nice red body with a pink head. The taste was still very much consistent with beer with a note of the blackberries. The aroma was inviting with a berry smell and sweet notes throughout. I honestly expected something more like the Fort, but this one was a solid beer with a nice hint of fruit. Well Done!

This beer tasted a lot like what I think Forte would taste like if you aged it for about two years. It is a mellow fruitiness that I found inoffensive, somewhat appealing, but not awefully exciting either. Not bad; and I’d recommend it. This beer is reddish with a soapy head. It has a fruity sour cherry smell. Flavor is mellow sour cherries and this beer is not boozy or unpleasantly fruity (which was my impression of Forte). Mouthfeel is a bit watery. I thought this beer was decent, but it may have been just a bit too mellow. A mix of half this and half Forte I think would be perfect!

Very sweet and very strong...just like I like my meh.....I mean beer. A great fruit beer that is extraordinarily fruity. More than most fruit beers, which is a trend with dogfish fruity beers.

Not bad. I don’t think I’m a fan of fruit beers. Rasberry, blackberry, apricot, gummy bears sums it up.

2008-05-01. Red tinged amber body witha good sized foamy off white head. Odd aroma of something, strange dusty fruit notes. After taking a sip of the beer the aroma takes on more of an identifiable fruit character. (6+) Flavour has a fairly generic sweet malt foundation, modest raspberry and berry fruits. Touch jammy in the finish. (6+) Palate is slightly more full bodied than average. Pleasant, bit ho-hum especially by DFH standards, but its not bad. 7/4/7/3/13-14 - 3.5 At least its consistent! Bottle shared by HogTownHarry <P>July 2007. Bottle. Ruby body with a frothy pink tinted head. (3+) Sweet fruity aroma is muted, lightly yeasty and has some moderate alcohol notes. Similar flavour is pleasant with notes of raspberry and ambiguous fruit, but is similarly muted. Light bitterness and tart fruit. Average to thin palate. Alcohol is surprisingly restrained considering how strong it is, but the flavour as a whole is a bit too light for my liking. Pleasant, but underwhelming. 7/3+/7/3/14 - 3.5

[402-20070706] 1pt9.6floz (w/ jerc). Aroma holds faint fruit traces. Slightly hazy, red bronze body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Flavour has some fruit, some booze, and some grape-like qualities. Medium body hides the alcohol. Interesting colour, nice and mild.
