Dry Dock Brewing Company won Small Brewing Company of the year at Great American Beer Fest in 2009, so on my visit in 2010, I decided to stop in and check out a few of their offerings. One of the beers I ordered was Bligh's Old Ale. The beer pours a copper color with a thin filmy off-white head. The aroma consists of caramel with raisins and dark fruits. The taste is sweet and malty with lots of raisin, oak accents, and a healthy offering of dark fruits on the finish. The alcohol content is 6.9% ABV. I thought that Bligh's Old Ale was quite a smooth drinker, but I did expect it to have a higher alcohol content. The oak accents the alcohol content somewhat, making it jump out on the tongue more so than expected.
