Fruit-Full Fort (2018)

Strong Ale - Other

A twist on our beloved Fort, Fruit-Full Fort is brewed with four types of berries … raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries and elderberries. This blend of dark berries creates a depth and complexity reminiscent of a jammy red wine. We punched up the malt bill with Munich malt in this new version of Fort to provide a firm backbone and help balance the tart flavor of the brew’s berry blend. Clocking in at 15%-18% ABV, Fruit-Full Fort is dark maroon red in color with aromas of velvety cherry and berry sweetness, and flavors of raspberry and blackberry.

Bought at the brewery in summer 2018. Heavy fruitiness of all the red fruits (raspberry, blackberries, etc.), plus some plum. But it’s an enormous boozy liquid, difficult to get malt or something else. Spicy a lot. Like cherry wine under a Christmas tree.

Jammy red wine seems accurate. A good little kick but still drinkable for 17%.

It says bottled on 06/28/18. It does not say the ABV on the bottle. I’ve looked. Very good. Def a red wine / port feel. Loved it. All the berries mix well. It also says ages well. So get a 6er and keep some in the basement.

Bottled 6/28/2018. Kroger buy last week $9.49 a 4 pack. Best deal ever. Definitely a wine taste too it, not necessarily my style but the abv% and the deal help a lot.

Cold weather calls for boozy beer. A little smoother with age but still berry-tart.

Deep red brown. Jammy then boozy with a tart lingering finish. The Belgian bready, licorice yeast is a bit covered, mostly by the ABV and copious berries added. Very nice. Thanks Paul!

From the cellar! Bottled 6/28/18 and Sam says to "lay it down for a couple years" and I'm a rule follower so here we are. Lots of sediment. Thick. Muted berries with a warm finish.

Pulled out a cellar beer on a random Thursday 🤷🏼‍♀️ Less medicinal than the last one; a little boozy but taste belies the 17.5% abv.

This is no joke, heavy hitter FOR sure. Heavy accents of fermented fruit. Definitely the body of a STRONG ale. They should call this Terry Crews Fort TBH.
