Jun 5, 2009 Bottle. Was very disappointed in this beer. First beer from dfh that was not enjoyable. Couldn’t even finish this six pack.

Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. This is a very dark brown colour with a big thick light brown head. The aroma is earthy, peaty with anise seed, clove. Very inviting! The mouthfeel is thick, smooth, a bit sticky on the tongue. The flavour is full of wood, oak with old style black licorice, molasses, a hint of dark candy sugar, some dark berries, green hops, alcohol. The alcohol really overwhelms the rest of the flavour, which is unfortunate considering how unique and complex this beer is.

Jun 4, 2009 The head is gorgeous, bubbles and roils just above the surface, you can watch the ale just form. Tastes like bourbon, sweet malty, alcoholic bourbon. Definetly a strong brown flavor, tons of roasted notes, takes you for a trip.

Jun 4, 2009 This one came across as just too....sticky too big, maybe too sugary. Gonna be on tap this weekend near me, so I’m going to try and give it another go around, but it just felt too big and malty and sweet for my palate.

Jun 4, 2009 Deep black with a thick mocha head. Good retention. Aroma is chocolate, sugar, vanilla, wood, alcohol, roasted malt and hazelnuts. Flavor is very similar with a healty dose of hops. Full body. Very well done!

Jun 2, 2009 Bottle Pours a deep black with a decent light brown head. The heade seems to last well. Produces some real excellent lacing. Has a great aroma of chocolate, roast, and alcohol. Has a good carbonation. And a swell mouthfeel. The flavor is good. Has an alcohol bite but it is good. Looks like a stout but the flavors a sweet and smooth. Has a thick texture and a full body. This one hits you in the lungs with the burn, I love that. Great finish and the aftertaste may be with me for a week. This beer flat out rocks.

May 30, 2009 Probably the best dogfish that I have had. Overall I am pretty disappinted with this brews that his one is strong and ful of really good malts. Mild mild in hops but very strong malts. Pours very dark brown, cant see through it. Thin lacey head. A very nice roasted aroma and taste.
