Tonight I am trying a bottle that I have heard great things about for many months now. This is a 2008 bottle of Dogfish Head Black and Blue. This Belgian style ale is made with over 300 lbs of fresh blackberries and blueberries and packs quite a punch with 10 % ABV. The aroma is fruity, definitely smell the different berries. The taste is amazing and I cannot detect the alcohol. Fruity and refreshing. Seems the blackberry dominates over the blueberry. Very good beer to sit back and relax with. Pairs very well with chocolate, preferably chocolate cake. Black and Blue comes in a 1 pint 9.6 oz bottle and though the price is more like the price of a good six pack, it is worth it. Go out and pick yourself up a bottle.
Cheers!

I have to be honest, when I reviewed this one I wasn’t a huge fan. Too wine coolerish for me.
That said, I’m a HUUUUUUGE DFH fan, and I thought that the Black and Blue was a poor example of how great their beer is.

It’s one of those sippin type beers. I agree that Dogfish Head has better (90 min), Thanks for reading and adding a response!
