Commercial Description:
I got a brew you can’t refuse. The Dogfather is one of the biggest brew we have ever made, weighing in a 10.85% alcohol. 7 malts and 4 hops give it a complex flavor profile. Over 11 month in the making some of the DogFather has been barrel aged. This is a very limited release with only 40 keg equivalents in draft and only 300 case made.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that lasted with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted coffee, chocolate and caremel aroma. Heavy bittersweet roasted malty flavor with a heavy coffee bittersweet and small alcohol bite finish of long duration. Full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. This is a standout beer.

Bomber. Pours black with a slight ruby hue and a creamy dark tan head. Aroma is very chocolate forward, with heavy notes of coffee and some tobacco. Very roasted and sweet. Flavor starts sweet with chocolate and cocoa but quickly gains a coffee or espresso bitterness. Finishes creamy and heavy on the dark chocolate, with a light bitterness. Mediumish body, thin for the style. Not bad, a bit off and less complex or full bodied than I prefer for a serious impy stout

Bottle. Pours a deep black color with a nice tan head. Nice, springy aroma! Some raisins and roasted malt are the first things that come to mind. Nice roasted flavor. Malt, oats, and a hint of coffee. Light fruity notes as well. Pretty solid stout!

Great looking, proper head, great carbonation, mixed flavors, a bitter after taste that qickly goes away preparing you for next sip. Limit your compsumption, this stuff is great.

22 oz bottle. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, alcohol, toasted marshmallows, roasted malt. Pours tar black with little head, nice lacing. Taste is bitter. Full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel; carbonation is medium. Finish is long, bitter, full of warming alcohol. Excellent stout that’s perfect for frigid winter days.

Bottle from Total Wine in Springfield over christmas. Pours a dark black with a lighter tan head. Hint of alcohol in the background is a little disappointing after just having another well made impy. Flavor a little lighter and less complex with mostly roasted malt and a bit of a light hop bitterness.
