Dogfish Fruit-Full Fort

Regular fort was horrific to my palate. Hard pass for me.

 

Yes. Highly anticipating this beer. I love Fort. I just hope this isn't a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

We will find out.

 

Yea I enjoy the 2015 fort as well I hope this tastes as good as the original

 

Had Fort and it was definitely interesting. I'll always give Dogfish's beers a shot. Ingredients dont usually stray me away; it's usually the price tag along with said ingredients.

 

I want to say I paid somewhere in the $11-$12 mark for the original Fort when I bought a bottle in Virginia. Which is usually inline with their higher ABV stuff (120, WWS). I'm assuming this will be somewhere in that ball park, if not higher if there are more adjuncts?

 

Looking forward to this one after it sits for 5 years

 

This is a common opinion of Fort drank fresh. Personally every time I've had Fort fresh I couldn't shake the cough medicine taste. BUT with an appropriate 4-5 years of age on Fort.... I can attest that it becomes a completely different beer. In fact it drinks like a delicious wine with the proper amount of age.

I'm intrigued in what it might taste like with bundles of other jammy berries added, but I guess I won't find out until 2022.

 

Fort was pretty good, can’t wait for this one.

 

I may get one to age but I am sort of burnt out with the ultra high ABV stuff. Maybe I am in the minority but I would rather have a very solid beer with average ABV any day.

 

Fort really came into it's own after about a year. Became a strong raspberry ale and was a nice sipper. I didn't care for it fresh...and I do love all of the DFH strong singles so happy they have at least 1 this year.

 

There isn't anyone brewing that pushes the boundaries better.
