onelin's onomatopoeia

This isn't the first Dogfish Head beer I've tried, and I recall when I first tried one of their 60 or 90 minute IPAs every sip resulted in me saying "whoa" after every single sip due to the intense and surprising good flavor. This particular ale (Black & Blue) combines black raspberry and blueberry puree. It surprises you just for a split second with a sort of Blushing Monk deliciousness due to the black raspberries and then switches to the second fruitiness of the blueberries (also tasty). Like blushing monk, the fruitiness does a fairly good job of masking the 10% abv.

What I got was in a 25.6oz bottle. It's a bit pricey at 11.99, but the taste is the real deal. The packaging is also really catchy and is why I picked it off of the shelf originally. Over the last year or so, this has become one of my favorite celebratory/occasional beers.

Reasonable Price
