Dogfish Head Wood-aged Bitches Brew

Dogfish Head Wood-aged Bitches Brew. Stout brewed with honey. 9.5% Alc. by Vol. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, DE.

Full-on ebony, dark and dense, slim brown head.

In the nose: toasty, roasty, rich, coconut, slightly sweet, some chocolate, hickory. Nice. Very nice.

In the mouth: Great balance. Just enough bitter, just enough sweet. richness upon richness. Altogether tasty. Very mellow, very fine. I think I need to change my aural environment....

ah, yes. Much better with Miles in the background. Or fore, whichever. And very cool to see Mati Klarwein's art on the label again.

Hey, you know what? Listening to Miles is one thing,
 but you should check out the words, as sung by Eddie Jefferson. Right here....And over there...

So Cool. Then I switch to Spanish Key, and even more it chugs along in a funky, fusion way....

This is so nice. So good. So groovy.

A big roasty, oak-aged stout brewed in concert with a Palo-aged African Tej with Zambezi Honey

Much like Jazz fusion, which blends different musical styles, our Wood-Aged Bitches Brew is a fusion of three threads of Imperial stout aged on oak and one thread of Tej - a native African honey beer - aged on Palo.

The result is a roasty brew chock full of aromas of vanilla, licorice and chocolate, while you’ll find notes of sweet roast coffee with every sip. It’s slightly dry in the mouthfeel with a mild bitterness that make it the perfect sipper.

Dogfish Head founder & CEO Sam Calagione says Wood-Aged Bitches Brew is best when “sipped cool, not cold, from a snifter or red wine glass while listening to the Bitches Brew album.” We like the sound of that.
