Fruit-Full Fort (2018)

Fuck if this is a beer. Wine port that was aged and probably at its prime. Lots of berries is the only difference I'm tasting in this.

Gerald Parker

Cellared 6 years. Still really solid. This one always amazes me

Still good?

Absolutely loved this beer when I first had it. Lost a bit after 6 years. Still pretty cool though.

Found this beauty at Steins. 6 years old and drinking great. So much booze and berries. Thick syrupy. Tastes almost mapley. Some of the tartness is falling away. I will say that I always loved the original Fort better. This one is always a great sipper.

Bryan Bleakley

Aged 6 years in my basement. Definitely more potent but same great flavor

Having it back, 6 years aged now. Opened it for no particular reason today. Soooo good. Less boozy than it was before, a bit chocolatey, still with tons of fruity flavor (berry/cherries). I wish 2018 me had bought more of these 😂

Beth Ide

Theo aged this for 6 years and wow it really paid off. 😍

Says it was bottled in 2018, so going with this vintage. Agree that it seems like a barleywine.

Ayyyy Jaks

Justin Giustizia

As I drink it, this beer grows on me. Jammy with chocately notes from the aged fruit and malt balance. So weird...

Mark Kraft

Brian Wilkes

Phew…what a dusty punch

My local store has so many older dogfish head limited Shellie’s. I know this is a weirder beer, but I like it especially with some age. Wonderful nose of fruit bouquet. Taste is light barrel & mellowed fruit. Really digging it

Reeks of booziness, barrel and dark fruit. Tastes like cherry/fig/raisin with a tart bitterness from the berries along with earthy tea notes and a subtle hint of chocolate. Bordering on wine territory but the Munich malt gives it a dark bread/caramel vibe

Vintage bevvie... A lot of floaters! Pretty good... Interesting, definitely.

john weyer

Did not agree well...

Getting all 4 types of berries here: very full bodied with a dark richness I haven’t found in a fruited strong ale. Pleasant tartness, reminiscent of a port or a sherry. Beautiful beer!

LCI. Lots of red wine and jammy sediment.

Spenser Bolte

Age didn’t do it favors. Also probably didn’t have as consistent an environment for aging as I needed lol

Not great after 5 years on a shelf

Someone didn't check the ABV before popping this bad boy open. I told him I wanted something fruity and this is what he came back with. Whoa.

Justin Mizerak

Decided to pull this out of my aging collection seeing how it’s 5 years. I was kind of worried that I might have buggered it up but it’s actually still VERY good. It is mostly boozy, with that nice subtle burn, with a supporting cast of fruits.

That's right, we tried this 5 year aged brew that Christian had been saving. Tastes like a delicious barley wine.

Better aged than fresh, much less boozy, 5 years, coworker's stash

Adam Lawrence

Rob German

Berry forward, and very jammy. This is like a sweet port wine. This is super boozy. The booze flavors dominate the finish. I don’t dig the flavor (not the booziness) of the finish.

Tom I

Delicious! This was the first beer I “cellared” when I moved to silver spring in 2018. Seemed appropriate for the last dinner we have in our apartment!

Nick

Agree w recent posts. Jammy, boozy, a little bitter. I think a won for the aging

Jim Gregg

5 years old. A touch cloudy but that is probably the sediment not settling. Very boozy and lots of berries. Very jammy. Big beer. Definitely a sipper. Meant to be shared, but I’m not.

Strong! Originally 17.2% before aging.

Tom Bastian

Sean Weldon

More boozy with age, much of the characteristics seems to have diminished

Boozy but oh so smooth. Rich malt, berry jam, boysenberry, cherry, some red wine, finishes prune/raisin. Perfectly sweet.
