Gather around the fire for Dogfish Head’s Campfire Amplifier, a s’mores inspired milk stout released in time for cool fall nights and Halloween at home parties. Campfire Amplifier, is a 6.5% ABV milk stout brewed with real marshmallows, graham crackers, coca nibs, cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla beans and a pinch of smoked malt. Look for aromas of chocolate, vanilla, graham cracker, light roast and subtle smoke. Campfire Amplifier is available now on in bottles and on draft nationwide.

More from a press release:

“We started testing the idea and recipe for a s’mores-centric stout at our Milton Tasting Room & Kitchen sometime last year,” said Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione. “In fact, I specifically remember our Brewmaster, Mark, roasting countless marshmallows over the open flame of our Kitchen’s outdoor, wood-fired grill to use during our first brewday. The resulting beer was a big hit among both our co-workers and guests. Afterall, there’s really nothing better than a gooey s’mores sandwich … except maybe a s’mores beer!”

Campfire Amplifier is not only the newest addition to Dogfish Head’s portfolio of offbeat ales, but it offers a sneak peek at the collaborating artist for the brewery’s 2021 Off-Centered Art Series. An annual collection of limited-edition beers that personify the creative expression at the intersection of art and ales, Dogfish Head’s 2021 Off-Centered Art Series lineup will feature label artwork by Ryan Besch. Hailing from Buffalo, New York, Besch has been designing posters and vinyl art for more than 20 years, and has worked with a wealth of well-known groups, including Phish, The Black Keys, O.A.R. and many more.

“It may have been his awesome gig posters that first caught our eye, but after seeing his visual interpretation of Campfire Amplifier, it’s safe to say that Ryan’s comics-like, collage-centric design aesthetic is a perfect match for Dogfish Head’s unique and eccentric beers,” said Calagione. “The intricate details within his artwork for Campfire Amplifier have me beyond excited to see what he comes up with for the rest of Art Series lineup.”
