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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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