Brown with a small tan head and some lacing. Aromas of caramel, bread, peppery hops. Complex flavor of spicy hops, nuts and caramel, with an interesting aftertaste.

Pours a dark amber-brown with a tan head. Rich and dark, fairly smooth. Notes of coffee and brown sugar or molasses. Overall a good solid brew. Thumbs up.

This is one of the beers that introduced me to microbrewed beers. This was the first time I experienced a beer that rolled along my tongue with multiple flavours of malts and it will always hold a special place in my heart for beers. Very nice.

Poured a huge tan rocky head into a semi dimpled mug. Smell of molasses and malts and brown sugar. Flavour has a nice balance of Sweet and Bitter fresh Happiness- oops I mean Hoppiness. I had already had a few draughts at the Draught House Brewery in Austin so my Palate may have been dulled, but I did not detect a very strong alcohol flavour. The head did dissipate quickly. The bitter flavour though persisted pretty much till the bottom of the glass. I liked the over all effect of this beer. I would try it again. Enjoy!

Malt and hops! The commercial description is spot on. It’s like they took two different beers, a scotch ale and IPA, and mixed them together. Very interesting, but they don’t work together real well, rather the flavors are very separate. Strange.

DOGFISH BREWS HAVE BECOME SOME OF MY FAVORITES ALTHOUGH THIS ONE IS DELICIOUS IT IS NOT AS FLAVORFULL AS SOME OF THEIR OTHERS, ITS LESS HOPPY BUT STILL NUTTY AND SWEET, POURS A NICE DARK BROWN . IT IS WORTH A TRY!

Chocolate pour, low head, nice lacing. Light caramel aroma. Nicely carbed with a deep chocolate flavor. Light smokiness, tinged with alcohol and a nice aroma of fruity sweetness. A light nut finishes with more alcohol. Very tasty, a little dry.
