I always get the 6 packs of Dogfish Head when I can, because they do not seem to be too consistent among each. It is hard to be too objective here, because I myself am not a constant, but the fact that this only seems to happen with Dogfish Head seems to indicate it isn't just me. Still, this should not be taken as an insult or even a negative by default; Kraft cheese is very consistent but that certainly doesn't help it. Craft brews, I imagine, are much less likely to be consistent than mass produced beers. Dark reddish brown, transparent, with a short light brown head, and some lacing. The overall appearance is one of strong richness. Not a bad looking brown ale. The initial scent is a bit of a burnt bread crust, which I also got from their Raison D'Etre. I am not sure if this is from the way it's bottled, an ingredient shared, or something else. It is much stronger in this bottle than others. A variety of spices come through, but that burnt bread crust is really at the forefront for me. Not so much for the previous bottles I've had (from previous nights, I assure you!). I don't sense anything really exciting here. Drinkability is nice. Enough flavor to be worthwhile, but not too rich in flavor or strong in strength to limit you to a mere bottle a night (unlike some of their other beers - again, not necessarily a complaint).
