Dogfish Head Beer Tasting

This isn't going to be a full review of every beer we drank, just a quick overview of each of the beers as well as a basic ranking of them. Sorry that there are no pictures for these but we weren't planning to do a full review of every beer we drank just our top beer of the day.

Hellhound – It was very hoppy and bitter with some lemony taste. It was okay but to me it was very bitter.


Noble Rot – This was amazing, I have never had a beer like it before. It was dry like wine but very obviously like a pilsner beer. It had an almost sour tart-like taste to it. This was our top beer of the day. We purchased 2 bottles of this before leaving. You can keep an eye out for a future full review of this one.


World Wide Stout – Smooth and malty, almost roasted, with a super high alcohol content 15-20%, definitely saved for a special occasion.


Chicory Stout – To me it has a strong licorice, and coffee taste, I am not a huge fan of coffee stouts so it’s not really my cup of tea, but it was Dave's.


Sixty-one – This had a delicious taste a mix of IPA and grapes which is exactly what it is, smooth and sweet with just a hint of dryness.


120 minute IPA – For an IPA, it wasn't bitter at all, it was smooth with a great hoppy taste, not a bitter over the top hoppy taste, especially for the amount of hops used in the beer.


Burton Baton – It had a great smooth taste to it, vanilla, woody but not overly wood just a nice almost sweet flavor.


Palo Santo Marron – Smooth and strong with nice woody notes, almost sap like. Very malty and smooth with some hints of vanilla and maybe caramel. The Palo Santo wood adds notes that I couldn’t quite place.


Aprihop (with fresh Simcoe Hops) – Amazing, I thought it would be ultra hoppy due to the extra hop addition but it was aromatic and flavorful. It is definitely worth trying some beer that's been enhanced by Randall The Enamel Animal.

  1. I haven't tried most of these beers (excepting the Chicory Stout and the 120), but I would love to now. Will they be making the Noble Rot again?
