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.

I was prepared to dump it ( since John May used it as weed killer 4 years ago) but it grew on me. Kind of like drinking Boones Farm only boiled down. Still tasting raspberries behind the booze Thanks Johnmay

This doesn't work for me. Too fruity to be a strong ale; too strong for a fruit beer. Kind of a mess.

Boozy and raspberry, reminds me of a cross between sherry and port. Good for sipping after dinner with an espresso, but even 6 ounces is too much for me. Love trying new styles, thanks Dana and Eric

L: Dark amber color w/ thin lacing S: Brown sugar, fig T: fig, molasses F: thick O: 90. Great beer, but feel DFH could’ve done better to highlight the raspberries which were pretty much non-existent here. Tasted like every other Strong Ale I’ve had.

Pours with a raspberry aroma, color of light caramel tinged with raspberry, tastes of light caramel with chocolate raspberries, smooth, finishes with a warming alcohol note. Nice porch sipper on a Friday evening.

The actually managed to put raspberries forward in a high ABV beer. It’s so good and so smooth. The more I drink the funny I think I am.

Ages well. Like your Mom. Had this one at least four years. Like your Mom. Boozy would probably smooth out in another four. Like your Mom. Tasty. Mom.

Another D’Fish head that did not age particularly well... I am sure it would have been great a few years ago... but the raspberry went a little too far and soured (not in a good way). Ended up a drain pour. Abstaining from rating.
