Bitches Brew hit the high notes
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Miles Davis’ legendary jazz fusion album Bitches Brew, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery released a new Russian Imperial Stout. Mr. Beery’s had it both on tap and in bottles, so I decided to stop by and give it a try.
Dogfish Bitches Brew (Dogfish Head Craft Brewery; Milton, DE; Russian Imperial Stout; ABV: 9.0) is as smooth as the late jazz legend, and pours a jet black color. There’s notes of honey and dark chocolate complimented by dark fruit, roasted malt, and gesho root with a hint of smokiness at the finish. While I liked it on tap, I found that drinking Bitches Brew from the bottle, slightly chilled, captured the true essence of this stout. The alcohol presence wasn’t as noticeable as other imperial stouts, so Bitches Brew is quite easy to drink.
I trumpet the release of Bitches Brew, and salute DFH for crafting a worthy tribute to Miles Davis.
