It's sort of a cheat to review this since we've been here so many times, and have reviewed DFH in Rehoboth. And they don't even brew onsite. Oh well. Our beer diary, our rules.
House Brews:
60 Minute IPA
90 Minute IPA
Alehouse 75 (90 & 60 minute combined)
Dogfish Black & Tan
Shelter Pale Ale
Raison d'Etre (J)
Indian Brown Ale
Lawnmower Light
Festina Peche
Johnny Rawton Pils
Chicory Stout
World Wide Stout
Olde School Barleywine (B)
Olde School Barleywine: ABV 15% so served in a brandy snifter. Aroma of oak and figs. No head remaining after the short trip from the keg. A full velvet mouthfeel with woods and fruits is slightly marred by a metallic aftertaste. The body is perfect but the astringency in the finish hurts it. It's becoming more fruit-flavored as it warms, lessening the metallic flavor, but not losing it entirely. 8.2
Raison d'Etre: A Dogfish classic. I've had this many times in bottles. The tastes are stronger in draft. There is a strong malty presence, but the raisins definitely come through. Do't worry, the hops are present too. This batch has a slightly more sour taste which is not ideal. Body is excellent, as usual. 8.4
