Dogfish Head - Immort Ale

Vast in character, luscious & complex. Brewed with peat-smoked barley, this strong ale is brewed with organic juniper berries, vanilla & maple syrup. It’s aged on oak and fermented with a blend of English & Belgian yeasts. The sweet and earthy flavors meld magnificently in the Immort Ale. But, be warned the abv is 11%, so after 1 or 2 you may start feeling immortal.  Immort Ale is released each and every spring (after the sap starts flowing).

The ABV is 11.0 and the IBU rating is 50
Style - American Strong Ale
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Snifter or Chalice
Delivery 12oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a nice amber color with a nice head. Some lacing.
Aroma - A little of everything due to the oak barrel aging; oak, some maple, vanilla, malts and a hint of smokiness.
Taste -  Like a combination of two brews; Raison D'Extra and 60 Minute.Taste like smells. 
Mouth Feel - Clean and just the right amount of carbonation.
Drinkable - Very good I could drink it all day but I would pass out after the third.  11%!  I need to a small quantity so I can age it for a while.

This beer pairs well with cheese.
