Rye IPA- Craig Laban, Philadelphia Inquirer
“Few breweries have embraced the tangy grain [Rye] like

Barrel-Aged BarleyWine- Jack Curtin
“I was really curious about Dock Street Barley Wine,
which came listed on the label at a formidable 10.5%.
Curiosity did not kill the cat in this instance; what it did
do was reward my interest with a very good beer...It
poured a reddish brown color with a small and fast fading
white head, fruit and oak and vanilla in the nose. Nice
flavor overall... Quite good, I thought, and a nice way to
spend an evening. Kudos to Ben Potts and crew. I really
get the impression of late that Dock Street ver 2.0 has
really found its groove. click for full review
Barrel-Aged BarleyWine- John Hansell
“I can smell and taste the oak from the barrel-aging in
this dark and murky beer, but it blends nicely with the
rest of flavors: burnt raisin, cherry pits, light molasses,
plum, fig and over-ripe Clementine- all leading to a dry,
burnt black licorice, charred oak finish that keeps the
sweetness in check. It’s thick, viscous and not very
carbonated, but that was on purpose. Sip in a sifter, no
colder than room temperature.”

“Everyone’s been singing Dock Street’s praises for its
elaborate, delicious pizzas and its tasty homebrewed beer.
Everyone’s right!”](Awards_files/shapeimage_5.png)
