432. Dogfish Head Immort Ale
I picked up a bottle of Dogfish Head Immort Ale at Whole Foods a few weeks ago. The bottled on date is 4/5/06. I served this at around 50ยบ F in one of my New Belgium glasses.
The bottle says:
Brewery: Dogfish Head Craft Brewey
Alcohol: 11.00%
Serving: Bottle, 12 oz.
Style: American Strong Ale
Appearance (4.0): Pours a clear copper with a fluffy, beige head that thins to a persistent quarter-inch layer and leaves patchy lace.
Smell (3.5): The aroma is sweet malts under a dominant smoky oak and vanilla aroma.
Taste (4.0): Sweet notes of dark fruit, vanilla and oak. The finish is strong, spicy alcohol with low bitterness and a touch of smoke.
Mouthfeel (4.5): Moderate carbonation, full-bodied and creamy.
Drinkability (3.5): The flavors and alcohol are strong, this is a beer to sip.
Overall (3.9): This is a pretty good beer. The oak and smoke flavors and aromas are strong. This was a pretty fresh beer, so perhaps it could benefit from aging.
