CO Barrel Aged Stouts

BA Hammer and Sickle is pretty tasty, if you guys haven't tried it yet. Also had BA Yeti and that was almost too much for me- great barrel character, but quite sweet. Think I liked the way H&S is a bit thinner actually...

Btw- Three Four Beer has an incredible tap list... They will be making their own beer 'in the next couple of months', but their guest taps alone are worth stopping by for!

 

Had a chance to try some of Dry Dock's Cascara Imperial Stout last night at a bottle share. Really good stuff....wonderful smell and I thought it had a great body on it....especially for the price point! Highly Recommend you give it a try if you get the chance.

 

I just shared some BBA Imperial Stout from Finkle and Garf. That's a damn good beer. Beautiful carb, nice nose. A little thin on the body, but very drinkable and full of great flavors, chocolate and vanilla and some dark fruits. Kind of has a bit of a Russian Imperial Stout kind of flavor to it. It's quite reasonably priced (would equate to $6.65/bomber!) and the 4-pack cans are good for now and later. It would be easy to put down a couple of these during an afternoon.

 

I enjoyed this beer as well when I stopped by the brewery last week. A solid BA stout and a reasonable price for a 4 pack, as you mentioned. It's so great to a see a small place releasing canned BA stouts rather than overpriced bombers.

 

A beer that great, no lines, no bs, great price and packaging. I might not have to buy any of the big boys releases if it stays this way. Case acquired that means 2 a month till it comes out again. PERFECT!

 

Grabbed a 4pk of this today, due to the recommendations here. Looking forward to trying it this weekend!

 

Is it only available at the brewery? Thanks!

 

Saw it at B Town in Boulder today. I'm sure it's around a few spots

 

Yep, grabbed it in Boulder. Pretty pleased, as I had passed it up until now and was afraid it'd be sold out.

 

I still haven't tried it. Great value but the $15 price tag and committing to 4 cans still gives me pause. I'm going to swing by the taproom in the next couple days for a taste before I dive in (hope it's still on). Curious to hear your thoughts on it

 

Eh, I've blown $15 on a bomber of something that wasn't that great before. And the 3 extra cans could always go to your trading partners if you decide you're not too keen on it.

 

You make good points. But I also live 0.5 mi from F&G...

 

Single cans at WF for 3.49 fyi.

 

Has anyone seen the F&G in Fort Collins?
Stopped in CBC and didn't see any, though I think they may have had some at some point....

 

@Ispeakforthetrees get more up there!

 

Purchased a 4 pack earlier today and cracked one open tonight. No regrets. Delicious bourbon barrel aged stout. And with 3 more cans, can't wait to mail one out to my brother in California to try and drink another 2 myself. Great job Finkel & Garf!

 

Stopped by Finkel & Garf's yesterday afternoon for a taste of that BBA Imperial Stout. It's a damn fine beer with a good amount of barrel. I didn't notice the body to be overly thin as some have reported. If anything, I think it should get better with time. Will definitely be grabbing a 4 pack to lay down next time I see it. (can you still say that when it's in a can?)

 

Had WeldWerks Medianoche (and Coffee Maple Medianoche) up at the brewery this weekend. Both are legit. Was sitting there thinking that if it makes its way into bottles at some point, it might very well be my BBA stout of choice. YMMV, of course, but it definitely hit the spot for me.

 

Liked all of the Medianoches very much, but coffee blew them all away for me. Incredible beer. Missed out on the coffee maple but I'm sure that was incredible as well.

 

The coconut version they had at Avery Strong Ale Fest may have been my favorite beer that day (a day that included BCBS and Parabola). We were all blown away by how good it was.
