This bulbous brown flavored ale was brewed with boatloads of ol' raisins. Lush and enjoyable now, this flavored ale ages with the best of 'em.

"NorCal Feb '08 - Good God. Did someone dump wood grain alcohol into this mess before bottling, because it sure in the hell tasted like it. This would get 3's across the board (and that's being generous) but it did have a nice appearance in the glass. But damn, what an f'n abomination. It was like drinking alcohol-infused cough syrup like Robitussin or something. Just...bleeccchh. Give's me the willies just thinking about this evil concoction.
The beer pours out dark mahogany/smoky brown color with a thinnish wisp of a head. Aroma was raisins, Robtissun, and alcohol/solvent/Gunk remover. It wouldn't suprise me if this thing loosens rusty bolts or removes graffiti from bathroom walls. The alcohol aroma and taste was simply too damned much. A vile raisin/prune puree with alcohol is about the only thing I could get from this beer. If they were trying to get alchol, they succeded because this might just be the hottest beer I've ever had.

"Bottled. Nut brownish amber colour, not much head. Aroma is raisins, alcohol and spices, Flavour is raisins, alcohol, sweet malts and dry dark fruits. Alcohol burns ALOT in the aftertaste. Don’t chug .) "

"This was a nice beer and my first of the Dogfish Head family. The most notable feature of this beer is its brilliant disguise. I challenge anyone to find the alcohol in this 20% beast!"

"I wasn't sure what to expect with such a strong beer, but Dogfish Head did a great job of masking the alcohol flavor, I didn't personally enjoy the flavor of this beer though. There were strong hints of fruit flavor which were a little to bitter and rich for my taste. This being said I still feel it it worth a try if you run across it."
