bethmatt0421 (317), Covington, Kentucky, USA Dec 27, 2008 Dark fruits, black and blue berries obviously. Even a champagne sourness to it. I loved this beer. A perfect mix of a fruity sour and wine. JCB (1716), Durham, North Carolina, USA Dec 23, 2008 750ml from . . . I cant remember. Anyways, this is a not bad companion to DFH Red and White. Clear pour, a pleasantly gleaming body, with a thick head that dissipates somewhat quickly. Translucent amber with faint pinkish hues, not unlike the Upland lambics I recently sampled, at least in appearance. Strong berry nose but you can certainly tell this is pureed, as it has a vaguely artificial quality to it. Malty brew with warming qualities, a bit of honey in the flavor too, almost as if this is Midas Touch with a ton of fruit. Alcohol well hidden, not a bad beer. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Dec 22, 2008 The word "fruity" comes to mind. Mildly reddish amber pour with a decent, creamy off-white head. Aroma of berries, a touch of yeast. Flavor is very sweet: syrupy, sugary berry mix with a tiny dash of hops to cut the fruitiness. Not bad, but not one of my favorites from DFH. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 21, 2008 Cloudy light red with medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with fruity and caramel notes. Sweet flavour with berries, caramel and malty notes. Finished sweet with warming alcohol. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Dec 11, 2008 I really dont agree with anything in the commercial description. Pours a pinkish amber color with a sort of berries and creme colored head. Nose is berry syrup, think of the stuff you put on pancakes, like blackberry syrup on blue berries pancakes.... yeah thats how I roll. Mouth feel is moderate to thick for a fruit beer and tastes sort of tart with lots of berries and a hint of barnyard. medium finish. Dangerously quaffable at 10 percent.
BMan1113VR (2758), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Dec 10, 2008 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Not as good as Red and White, but still a good beer. Pours with a amber leaning, off-white head and a amber dark nectar body. Aroma is sweet with nearly artificial berry syrup. There is a light tartness to the aroma with berry seeds and light funk. Taste is some what tart, dark berries with a good alcohol balance. Decent carbonation good alcohol presence. Seems like this beer is the basis for DFH Fort. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Dec 7, 2008 Pours dark orange with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of blackberry and raspberry jam. Taste is sweet fruits, toffee, and notes of red wine. Full bodied with lively carbonation. waolsen (1220), Littleton, Colorado, USA Dec 6, 2008 bottle. dark pour with some sediment, thin head. blackberries and blueberries have a great flavor. well balanced and easy drinking. very enjoyable.
