Dogfish Head Fort

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

A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of raspberries, but also some fruity notes. The flavor is sweet again with strong notes of raspberries, combined with alcohol, that burns in the throat, and wood, leading to an end, where the raspberries lingers for a long time. The mouthfeel is thick like syrup.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a slightly hazy pink with a pinkish head to match. Lightly tart raspberry aroma. Very solid body, this is almost pure alcohol with distinct notes of raspberries. The finish is pure alcohol - again. Not really a pleasant brew for others than fruit beer kings. 030606

Bottled. Hazy amber small head. Fresh, strong raspberry aroma. Very sweet and extremely malty. The extreme sweetness covers th emassive alcohol contents well, but it still feels like a raspberry liqueur. Very aromatic, but with rather one-dimensional flavour. Warming finish. Pretty good, but not one of the best from Dogfish Head.

75 cL bottle. Pours clear golden deep redish with a fully gone head. Aroma is dense dried and raisin fruity. Extremely sweet and sugarish aroma. Sweet raspberry and solid sweet flavoured overall. Dense alcohol presence and warming into a slight throat burning experience.
