Booze Geek – Dogma Flavored Ale And Kevin Smith's Dogma

Beer: Dogma Flavored Ale

Brewery: BrewDog

ABV: 7.8%

This was a fine discovery in Rochester New York. I was visiting a friend who happens to be a bigger beer nut than I am and he took to a number of very cool stores that sold only beer. Looking around the shelves, I spied this one because of the name: Dogma.

Dogma, made by BrewDog, the same company with the reality TV show, is a wee heavy or Scottish ale. It was a dark, copper-red color and produced a head on the thinner side but left a good amount of residual froth and lacing. It gave off a nice, sweet malt scent.

BrewDog added honey, kola nut, poppy seed and guarana to this beer when they made it. For me, I found creamy malt to be the most predominant flavor. However, I definitely noticed some honey and nuttiness to it, though I am not sure if the poppy and guarana came through as well. Dogma had a thick body with noticeable carbonation.

Despite not noticing some of the added flavors, I thought Dogma was a knockout beer, but I am also a sucker for a good Scotch ale.

What to Drink This To:

It was the name that had me. While I will always love Clerks, Dogma has remained my favorite Kevin Smith movie over the years. I attribute most of that to it being the first of his films that I saw. I recall watching the early scene with Alan Rickman as The Metatron revealing his lack of business region. To this day, I still love Dogma and I would only hope that by drinking this beer alongside it, you would enjoy it even more.

Dylan Gonzalez happens to love beer and comic books and luckily found a place to write about both because he has no idea how to actually make money in the real world.
