Beer 365 #144.5 Dogfish Head Squall IPA

Beer 365- #144.5 Dogfish Head Squall IPA
Pours a hazy copper color with thick white head. Nice full nose that pairs sweet earth driven malt with citrus/leafy hops. Mouth is big, dense and coating with adequate bubbles.
Flavors are intricate but very approachable. Resiny pine hops meld with caramel malt, notes of citrus, mint, honey, biscuit. This is a easy to drink (note the empty glass) DIPA that I wish I could find more of. (9% ABV)

Beer 365 #128 Dogfish Head Sah Tea

Pours a brilliant golden/orange with thin white head. Extremely complex nose of too many spices to name. Clingy mouth feel. The spicy flavors hit first (Chai spice is the strongest) followed by an interesting sweetness, then more spice in the finish (juniper). This s a beverage to share. I had a difficult time finishing one glass, I could never finish the bottle.

Beer 365 #111 Dogfish Head Festina Peche

Beer 365- #111 Dogfish Head Festina Peche
Pours a hazy straw yellow with thin white head. The nose is strong with tart fruit dominating, try as I might, I can't find the peach. The body is light and lively. Puckery sour flavor, like a liquid Sweet Tart candy. Again I can't find the peach flavors, they must be buried beneath all the sour candy. (4.5% ABV)

Beer 365 #110 Dogfish Head Theobroma

Beer 365- #110 Dogfish Head Theobroma
Pours a rusty orange with thin white head. Nose is intricate, honey, spice, sweet malt. Medium bodied with limited liveliness. First few sips were to cold and reminded a bit of a scotch ale. As it warmed the spice from the chilies came through as well as some dusty cocoa notes. The flavors overall were dark and rustic. Nice sipper once, not sure that I would go back for another. (9% ABV)

Beer 365 #101 Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Pours a deep golden/red with thin white head. Very intense nose of honey, grape juice, citrus and a bit of alcohol. Dense mouth, very rich and creamy. Nice honey sweetness that is not over the top. The honey is balaced nicely by the muscat grape flavors. This drinks like a wonderful desert wine. AWESOME! (9% ABV)

Beer 365- Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Pours a rich golden color with an active white head. Wonderful nose of bright citrus,pine, and strong hops, slight alcohol but more in the form of a brandy smell. Crisp citrus note, a little honey-ish malt flavor. Very crisp and lively mouth feel. This is a quality IPA. Another great DFH effort. (6% ABV)

Beer 365- #49 DFH Shelter Pale Ale

Beer 365- #49 Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale
Pours a nice copper color with thin white head. Some citrus in the subtle, faint nose. Interesting sweet malts paired with present but mild hops. Not as balanced as I would like. Drinkable but not my favorite PA, a bit disappointing for DFH. (5% ABV)

Beer 365 28/365 Dogfish Head IBA


Beer 365 28/365, originally uploaded by mitchancona.

Beer 365- #28 Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

I've had this many times before. Seem a bit different this time around, more brown less Indian ale. Dark brown in the glass, think cola. Light herbaceous nose, think Jager. Dense creaminess in the mouth but medium bodied, nice active spritz on the tongue. Dark malt flavors, very roasted, hints of coffee, mocha. Short finish but lingering aftertaste. Much more porter-esque than what I remember, still very good. (7.2% ABV)

Beer 365- Beer #14 Dogfish Head 90 Minute
One of my standard go to beverages. Great malt, great hops... just strong enough without making me nap after drinking a couple. (9% ABV)

Dogfish Head Red & White
Classic!
The wine drinkers beer. Made with a certain amount of pinot noir juice then aged in used pinot barrels. Great complexity throughout. Dry and crisp with warming notes throughout. Long lingering finish. AWESOME! (10% ABV)
