Dark Horse - Tres Blueberry Stout



Dark Horse - Tres Blueberry Stout

Tres Blueberry Stout is a 7.5% ABV American stout by Dark Horse Brewing Co. out of Marshall, MI.  This is the third of their five holiday stout series.

This blueberry stout pours a one finger head with a nice tan brown head that fades quickly.  Jet black body and light lacing.

Tres Blueberry Stout smells pretty amazing with big blueberries, chocolate, and coffee.  There's some light roast as well and maybe a bit of caramel.

The blueberries are the main player in the taste followed by some good coffee and dark chocolate notes.  Tres Blueberry Stout is slightly roasty and there's also some very subtle caramel and licorice. Medium body with a semi-dry finish.  Pairs well with a block or two of dark chocolate.

So far, Tres Blueberry Stout may be my favorite Dark Horse Holiday stout between it and One Oatmeal and Too Cream.  I have the Fore Smoked Stout on deck for another review and have yet to find Plead The Fifth which is the hardest of the five to find.  If you enjoy stouts, blueberries, and/or fruit forward beer, this is definitely one I recommend trying.

Score: 4.5/5 (Untappd Caps)
