LCI - From Yesterday. Self-identifies as a sour IPA, tweaking the beers acidity level to “enhance juiciness” & provide a tart finish with either calcium carbonate, or depending on how soft Milton, DE water is, phosphoric acid. Not all that sour to me…

LCI - From yesterday. Not bad, but waaaay past its prime; no one’s fault there but mine.

The Mandala Effect: The phenomenon where people collectively misremember events, historical facts & other famous pop culture moments. Named for late South African president Nelson Mandela who was thought to have died in prison in the 1980s. LCI…I think.

For those able to navigate by the position of the stars in the sky should be able to gauge my time spent @ DFH today. Seems they’ve finished mashing in… Herbal sage dominates aroma & flavor, with light malt, citrus, and a hint of pine on the tongue.
about 1 year ago
Citrus & light floral, with a hint of funkiness up front; tart and dry on the tongue from start to finish, with a chardonnay-esque crispness to the mouthfeel. Apple, white grape and a touch of oak all easily identifiable.

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2023) F
Spring cleaning… Last of the two-pack purchased last year.

It was a 40 oz. Magnum, so I’m OK with taking two credits for this one…!😉 Zugenbrech this: “Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische; Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze.” (Fritz, the fisherman's son, fishes for fresh fish; for fresh fish fishes Fritz.)

Zungenbrecher, German for ‘tongue twister’ (literally “tongue breaker”) is designed to give your mouth & tongue a good workout with pronunciation practice…Which, I’m guessing, is the reason for the choice in naming: The flavors give your mouth a workout.

Oh my… Look what DFH “found” sitting in the back of the beer cooler - On tap this evening @ the brewery. A 9,000 year old recipe that’s rested for 9 years has wonderfully blended & ‘complexified’ the honey, barley, grape must & fruit it was brewed with!

Oloroso Barrel-Aged Olde School Barleywine F
Batting cleanup today to clear the bases of pending check-ins. Malt, toffee, sherry w/a touch of alcohol warmth up front; fig, raisin, ripe stone fruit and light spice on the tongue; woody, dry-ish finish. A bit of aging would ‘soften the edges’ a bit…

Bright ruby red pour w/a sparkling off-white crown that quickly fades to oblivion. Viniferous…raspberry & slightly acidic to the fore; sour - but not overpowering - on the tongue w/more berries, lemon & a splash of Chardonnay; finishes w/a touch of funk.
over 1 year ago
Jet black pour with a thin fluffy tan crown that’s easily rejuvenated with the swirl of the glass. Deeply roasted malt leads; taste follows, with a creamy full mouthfeel and a solid roasty bitter bite that asserts itself from start to finish.

Malt forward, with some light pine, and a touch of citrus to the fore. Solid bitter bite leads on the tongue, citrus makes an appearance as the initial bitterness fades; crisp, slightly dry finish.
over 1 year ago
Beautiful golden-yellow pour with a firm white crown; juicy citrus & tropical fruit with notes & flavors of pineapple, melon, peach & orange. Creamy smooth mouthfeel with a lightly bitter-sweet finish.
over 1 year ago
Ruby red pour with a tan crown that quickly dissipates. Cranberry, orange & cherries - as predicted on the label - along with vanilla, toffee and oak stimulate both the nose & taste. Medium-bodied mouthfeel, with a slightly tart, alcohol warming finish.

Bottled: June 2018. Regretfully, time was not kind to this little fella… Heavily oxidized, muddy brown pour w/some fruit sweetness & a hint of alcohol warmth. “Fruit-y”, but individual fruits are undistinguishable; drinks like an old ale… Which it is.

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA F
LCI from earlier in the week. Deep copper pour with quickly fading off-white crown. Bourbon, oak & caramel dominate aroma; taste follows with vanilla, brown sugar, a touch of citrus, pine & distinct alcohol warmth from the otherwise well-hidden 17% ABV.

Live Christmas music w/Jeff Evans; cheers to musicians practicing their craft! DFH ‘Drink Lab’ beer…All the work of continually hopping a batch of beer w/‘Satan’s Saliva’ clocking in at a paltry 3% ABV. My version of an N/A beer; can drink this all day!

Juicy & piney… Paired nicely with DFH’s Buffalo Chicken pizza (left); playing ‘Peek-A-Brew’ with the Dogfishtmas Tree (right).

Missed national pickle day on the 14th, but grateful the folks at DFH saved me a pour; I think they are trying to make me a lager convert…Keep this up, and they may succeed. Peppercorn, dill, celery salt, & pickle spices; has a sage-esque, clean finish.

LCI - Dogfish Head ‘Analog-A-Go-Go’ festival last weekend. Columbia Model Q Graphophone, circa 1899. Portable, complete with a solid wood carrying case. Wouldn’t be a proper Analog-A-Go-Go festival without at least one on display playing big band tunes!

Having dispensed with all the tricks, its time for a treat…dinner. Have you ever noticed that, the the finer the restaurant, the more conservative, limited & crappy the beer selection? No issues finding a $20USD glass of wine, but a solid beer? Barely…

Of course I had to try the Punkin Ale; 2023 appears to be a good vintage. Fun fact: Did you ever notice that the ‘Dogfish’ logo on the Punkin Ale (& only the Punkin Ale) has fangs? Go ahead, check it out, I’ll be here waiting for you when you return…😉

Again, up top. Brewed with space-themed hops, including the newly discovered ‘Citrasteroid Belt’ variety.😉 CMB (Cosmic Multigraphics Background) Dogfish beer artwork radiates off in the distance.

Oloroso Sherry Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA F
Another. Finishing strong. Comparing the draft version with the bottled product. Alcohol warmth is a bit more subdued with the bottle vs the draft. Seems counter-intuitive… …Should sleep well pondering that thought.

Oloroso Sherry Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA F
The pic: Kiss & tell? Not me. And let’s be honest, with a ‘butterfly kisses’ bet such as ours, IS there REALLY a “loser” amongst the two of us?🤔😉🔥 The beer: 120 Minute IPA aged 1 year in Oloroso Sherry oak barrels… Some “youthful” alcohol warmth noted.

Years ago, I brewed a scratch beer that was fermented with Sake yeast that tasted awesome; then watched as some ‘effing “beer snob” homebrew club member poured it into a trash can when he found out it was fermented w/Sake yeast… …Now we have Cold IPA’s.

Went for a walk after work, and guess where I ended up? Nice rye IPA with a sturdy dose of white sage - Moreso on the nose for me; for my perambulatory coxswain accompanying me on the walkabout, it was all in the taste…Couldn’t smell a thing.

Amburana…A South American hardwood that grows in the jungles of Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia & Paraguay, is primarily used for maturing cachaça, adding a ‘Cinnabon-esque’ character to whatever rests on / within it. Pro tip: Let the beer warm a bit…

Lunch break. Paired with a macaroni & cheese, bacon & BBQ sauce pizza…Quite good, all the way around!

Another…Cask version. Not a lot of difference in taste, but much more creamy and smooth on the tongue and overall mouthfeel. Left a sturdy beer mustache on the upper lip!

Another… Less of a fun, relaxing fire and more of a “burning off a five-plus foot pile of twigs and tree branches” that have accumulated over the course of the past year in an attempt to clean up the back yard.

Every beer has a story to tell, and the potential to be a learning experience… I learned more in these last 16 ounces about buying and selling carbon credits than I have with all the previous ounces combined.

Technically, this is an image of my first sampling of this beer early last week, but is posted as my second check-in. The trembling you are currently feeling is the temporal paradox of posting my 1st check-in 2nd catching up to the present. Apologies…

FLN. Conceived in 2007 in Baltimore at a gathering of independent record store owners & employees as a way to celebrate & spread the word about the unique culture surrounding ~1400 stores in the US. Metallica was the first band to open the event in 2008.

Brewed with 7,439 malted milk balls. Apparently, a cannonball from the war of 1812 that was wedged into the side of a house in Lewes, DE went missing…This beer celebrates its eventual return (in 1 piece) with ~7,500 scaled chocolatey delicious replicas…

A Citrus Squall the moment the can was cracked open-Bright citrus & agave filled the room! It seems imperial pint or “stovepipe” cans are quickly becoming the rage in the world of craft beer, although AB Inbev & Miller/Coors have been doing it for years.

Christmas morning. A gift to myself. Actually, my third dance w/this amazing beer, but my 1st check-in here. 120-Minute IPA aged for a year in Weller & Buffalo trace bourbon barrels w/cherries, orange peel & gentian root. Tastes like an Old Fashioned.

DJ 45 spinning the hits from 1970 - 1975-ish in the pub. Collaboration with Rodenbach (of sorts)… Sumac-infused Red ale blended with Rodenbach Grand Cru. If you’re a fan of Rodenbach, then this is right up your alley.

Leftovers from yesterday’s ‘Vintage & Vinyl’ night at DFH. Vintage 2018. Brewed with cocoa nibs & raspberries, and aged on Madagascar Vanilla beans. Aromas & flavors of Black Forest Cake, Expresso & rich, thick fudge…Sinfully decadent!

Lime, grapefruit & agave sweetness to the fore. Sweet agave nectar leads on the tongue; lime & grapefruit make their presence known as the sweetness fades, with the tequila barrel characteristics rounding out the taste…Medium-dry, slightly acidic finish .

FLN…Random thoughts: 1) Thank you Philip (Tavour) for explaining what the heck Is Phantasm Powder is; 2) According to my stats, Untappd crossed the billion check-in mark on 26-Feb between 0411 & 1715Z; 3) Why is sales tax included in tip calculations?

Beautiful mahogany pour w/a solid tan crown. Light woodiness, touch of smokiness & toffee up front; alcohol warmth leads the taste, but quickly fades to reveal roasted malts & dark chocolate. Mouthfeel not as full as it appears; lingering bitter finish.

Boozy bourbon & maple syrup aromas are making their acquaintance as soon as the bottle was opened; a second whiff reveals chocolate, coffee & vanilla. Taste follows w/maple leading the way, brown sugar & roasted malts. Creamy texture; alcohol-warm finish.
