Dogfish Head Red and White

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

10 oz draft served on tap at Binnys South Loop (Chicago, Il). Pours an interesting amber with gold notes around the edges with small white head, nice translucent body, in a wine glass. Aromas are grainy, like the brewhouse during the mash, light berry notes, oak, and yeast. Initial is sweet, welcoming yeasty and malts characters, light oak, light fruity winey pinot characteristics, mild oak, and a touch of the witbier shines through. Sweet. Full. Finishes full with a malty palate stick with light fruit. Ok. Not something I would revisit. Too sweet for me.

Copper color beer with a lasting thin off-white head that left attractive lacing on the glass. Light cherry fruit nose with some red wine and oak. Dry oaky red wine flavors with sour cherry, warming alcohol and faint spice. The ABV hides well and bites you when you aren’t looking. Nice sipping beer.

Orange to amber in color with a nice beige head. Yeast and sediment in suppession. Fruity in the smell and taste. Alcohol is appearant. Earthy and malts as well.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark orangy brown with a thin off white, but creamy looking head. Aroma is herbal notes, orange peel, Taste is fruity up front, orange, some background lemon, finishes with a slight bitterness. Delicious. Mouthfeel is very coating.

Bottle shared with Gabe. Poured a orange with thin white head. Aroma was oranges, and wood. Taste wascitrus orange, spice, coriander, and wood. Very light textured and easy to drink another well done brew by DF.

Tap (one of only two kegs in south florida, I think Brother Tuckers got the other)@ Coffee District. Pours a reddish orange with a long long lasting white head. Aromaticly sweet smell with alot of caramel and citrus. Flavor is excellent but there is one drawback that kept this from being exceptional. On the good side there is alot of sweet caramel, complex fruit, very dry red wine like mouthfeel really comes through. Yeast with some pepperiness and a lovely lovely oaky vanilla finish (much better finish than the bottled version). The downside with this beer is the alcohol is way to apparent. This thing smacks you in the face more than it should, you can’t drink much of this. I was really glad to try this on tap though, its much better than from the bottle (something I find very common with belgian style beers).

bottle from whipin 117. poured a cloudy amber/orange with a thin white head. aroma of caramel, orange, coriander, nutty, and wood. flavor of caramel, spices, coriander, and alcohol. medium body, no carb, dry and bitter. this is a solid brew.

On tap at Brother Tuckers. Pours a cloudy orangish color with small whtie head. Aroma is very sweet with a lot of caramel, orange peel, and some yeast. Flavor has a strong alcohol component, but not in a bad way so much. I get caramel, fruit, syrup and some slight wine notes...but not a whole lot. Yeast and spices are present as well. good beer. but I couldnt drink a lot of this one.
