Immort Ale

I always enjoy finding a new variety of DFH! They always put out unique flavors and usually pack a nice ABV. The smell is a bit too sweet for me, as is the taste. Very sweet. Smooth in the mouth, and anchored with a good bitterness, but oh, it is just too sweet. The label mentions maple, vanilla, and oak, so that, and the big booze is where all that sweetness is coming from. You gotta be in the mood for this one. But with the holidays just passed, and more snow coming down, it is the right time to be drinking this. But I gotta sip it slow. I'm thinking this will go nice with a bourbon chaser. And it does! Look at me, using good booze to chase a high octane beer! Ha, ha! Perfect together, to make that sweetness less than overwhelming. ID
