Fort

Strong Ale - American

A strong ale brewed with a ridiculous amount of pureed raspberries (over a ton of em!). Fort is an excellent candidate for cellaring and is a great food beer — especially with chocolate or duck.

Definitely not my favorite from DH. Gets better as it warms.

From 2015 I think? A little past due I’d say. Still not as bad as I thought it would be. Terrifying amount of sediment. Pairs well with Purple Rain 🤴🏿

Almost like a strong raspberry wine… 18% is a bit absurd

Like a very dry wine. Little bit of tartness from the fruit flavor then the bitterness of the alcohol

Aged 6 years. Aged a bit too long. The beer started to turn, but had a nice raspberry aroma and flavor to it yet.

Nice raspberry flavor. Very refreshing with a dry-ish finish. Very tasty still.

Pours a pretty clear glowing reddish color with a fast-fizzling-away white head. Aroma is divine, well done for a fruit beer. In the mouth: cough syrup, even in the finish. An almost cheek-puckering experience, an effervescent amazement.

I remember thinking “these should age well” when I got them. Pretty sure I’ve never been more wrong. The nose still has some raspberry but it’s just undrinkable trash unfortunately. Maybe it’ll hit its stride at the 10 year mark!

Has definitely aged a bit… much darker now than the old 2016 pics. Resembles a barley wine now. Can still taste the raspberries though. Not especially sour.

Says discountined but I can't find a date. Very smooth with lovely raspberry taste. Not overbearing and not sour tart. Reminiscent of a Belgian strong ale but with fruit.

Bottled 10/23/15. Mildly Belgian and raspberry properties. Somewhat tart, but this has lost a lot of its luster. May have been in the bottle too long.
