I recently picked up a bottle of Dogfish Head's Immort Ale from Whole Foods. I pretty much love anything Dogfish Head makes: the 60 minute IPA, the India Brown Ale, their Festina Peche, etc. This one was definitely, like the rest of their beers, distinctive. It's strong (11% ABV), but, unlike a lot of "imperials," it's not overloaded with either hops or the taste of alcohol. The label mentions maple, oak and vanilla, and that pretty accurately sums up the flavors. The richness of the beer is a bit overwhelming at first, but it grows on you. It seems more like a barley wine (which it technically is) than a traditional beer.

I too very much like the Dogfish Head's line. I really like the 60 Minute IPA also. I have not had the Immort Ale yet, I will definitely try it, thanks for the heads up.
