Dogfish Head Fort

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

poured a reddish amber color with plenty of carbonation. smells of berries and alcohol slightly tart. the alcohol is the first taste followed by the berries. wow this is big taste and i quite liked it. took a few sips to get over the strength of it but after that the flavor came through.

This was a must try with all the talk about this one. It pours with a red hue and has big notes of raspberries. The mouthfeel drives the heavy fruit flavor along with the base of a big ABV. Nice to try.

750 ml. Got a bottle from my pal Alan up at Knightly Spirits from November of 2005. The head was cloudy, off-white with quick dissipation. Strong raspberry aroma. The taste dug in hard with alcohol and berry with a hint of caramel. Not the most drinkable beer, but I enjoyed it. I shared with a friend and the high ABV still made me feel like I got hit by a cement truck.

Bottle from Trenton Take out. I am not a fan of fruit beer and this didn’t change my mind much. I love Dog fish head but this one was too fruity for my taste. Not the worse thing I ever tasted but not one of their best.

Bottled on 11/28/05. We’ll see how this has aged after a year and a half. Pours a dark hazy orange with a fizzy white head that fades way too fast. Nose is candied berries with a strong yeasty and earthy thing. alochol noted. Flavor is strong in alcohol with raspberry accents. Kinda tasted like a weak raspberry vodka. Never tasted this fresh, but its not my favorite fruit beer. I think the high alcohol content might have something to do with it.

pours a nice robust brown with a white head. aroma is dominated by the berries and some sweetness. alcohol is very obvious. taste is dominated by berry and then the alcohol BAM. this is more a rasberry schnapps than a beer. as more of a novelty, i think it is great. they should bottle it in 8oz bottles, so you do not need to wait for a party of 4.

Bottle and served in my NB flute glass: Clean reddish coppery hue with a lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma is extremely medical solvent cleaner and completely dominate a subdued raspberries. Then I tasted it...gosh damn I have not had a experience like that in a long long time. THIS IS PURE CRAPO, worse than a cough syrup flavor could ever think of being. Medical nose went straight to the palate. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNDRINKABLE, DRAIN POUR!

Pours a reddish brown color with a medium off white head. This beer kind of is all over the place, which is why I like it. I think it works for this beer. Smells quite sweet, cherries and raspberries fill the air. Some maltiness to it as well. The taste was huge on the alcohol, as expected, and filled with a bunch of different flavors. You get the big raspberry and fruity flavors right away, and they are pretty dominant. Some nice malt background with some caramel mixed in. especially in the finish. This beer is definitely not for everyone, but i like its crazy style.
