Dogma !!!

Hey Everyone, So today's beer review comes from the familiar brewery of BrewDog, I think they are an exciting brewery with a huge range to offer, so I hope you enjoy today's post : ) !!!

Beer Name:
Dogma

Brewery:
BrewDog

Brewed and Bottled:
BrewDog, 
Fraserburgh,  
AB43 8UE,
Scotland

Alcoholic Percentage:

7.4% Vol

Measure:

330ml

Taste:

Chocolate, Coffee, Slight Sweetness, Bitterness

Colour:

Black

Odour:

Malt, Honey

General Thoughts:

Dogma is a really deep, full flavoured beer, with a real dynamic depth of flavour to it. There are flavours of coffee and chocolate coming from the roasted malt in the beer, but there is also a slight sweet edge, a taste of honey, giving this beer an incredible balance. This beer has a bitter after taste, giving you that moreish quality, which I think is key to a great beer. There is a coffee lingering after taste, a real malty depth to the beer, which is a pleasure to drink. Dogma doesn't taste overly alcoholic, which is a great surprise considering it comes in with an ABV of 7.4%. This plays in the beers favour massively as you don't feel that you are drinking something with a real kick to it, due to its perfect balance of bitter and sweet. This is a very rich, indulgent beer, which is great for a beer that could be cracked open on a special occasion. On the whole Dogma is a really great, deep, rich, full flavoured beer, with complex bitterness and sweetness to help make an overall balanced beer. This is definitely a must try beer, but I also think its one to be savoured for a rainy day, it will bring a smile to your face, especially with its warming quality. All in all a fantastic beer that will leave you not only feeling refreshed, but also deeply satisfied. 

Price:

€3.00 - €3.50 (Based on Average Price)

BrewDog, Fraserburgh, 

Scotland, AB43 8UE

Alcoholic Percentage:

5.0% Vol

Measure:

Odour:

Hoppy

General Thoughts:

BrewDog's 5 a.m Saint is a strong flavoured beer which is

heavy on the hops. This beer leaves a bitter after taste but not unpleasant. I am a real fan of high hopped, rich beers and this beer is one that fits the bill for me. A really nice beer that doesn't disappoint in flavour. I would highly recommend this beer to anyone who wants to try a craft beer at its best. The only negative I have is that it only comes in a 330ml and not 500ml, however its well worth the price.

Price:

€2.60 ( Based on Drink Store 02/11/2012)
