CO Barrel Aged Stouts

I picked up a couple 4 packs today also. Had a pour at the brewery and it was tasty. Not a lot of barrel flavor but the vanilla shines. About to crack a can.

 

We sold through everything allocated for today. We have a limited amount still allocated for The Main Event of our anniversary celebration. After that, the next release will be at least two can variants on Black Friday. Those variants are currently in bourbon barrels.

More info on The Main Event (next opportunity to buy cans) is here: http://odd13brewing.com/content/anniversary/themainevent.html

 

I found the rum to be more present than Odell's Jolly Russian but less than Momi Hiwa from Avery. Either way, this beer is absolutely delicious!

 

Bull and Bush's 46 Anniversary coffee stout was full of coffee. I found the barrel to be light, but it wasn't even close to being my first of the night so I'll have to revisit soon.
The coffee itself made it a good drinking beer though

 

I will be opening one here in a few minutes with Game of Thrones, very excited.

Just saw this today, but passed because I hadn't heard anything about it. Big fan of peanut butter though I've never had a PB beer that did it for me.

Anyone try it yet??!

 

I thought it was pretty good. The peanut butter comes through more than other peanut butter stouts that I've tried. With that said, it still has a lot of the sweet flavors typical of avery's big stouts. If you're into those, you'll probably like this one.

 

Personally I didn't like it that much. I had two bottles and I wouldn' buy any more of it. Flavor was fine but it was really thin and I prefer stouts of this variety to be a bit more robust in the mouthfeel. I didn't hate it, it just didn't really compare to many of the other great stouts that Avery puts out.

 

I bought a few bottles. The peanut butter seems to vary in intensity depending on the sip. If that makes any sense.

 

Drinking one now and compared it to my first impression I posted in the Avery thread and it's the same:
I like it as am imp stout, a smidge of peanut, bourbon adds some sweetness and body but overall subtle.
Not my favorite from Avery but I still like it

 

Dry Dock's Signature Series BA Pumpkin Double Porter is pretty damn good. Spicing for me is just right, I don't find it to be heavy, but it depends how sensitive someone is. It does seem a bit thinner than the previous double porters. I'm not getting any actual pumpkin, but I'm generally OK with that.
At 10.5 it's not quite a replacement for Pump[KY], but it serves its purpose.

 

I did get a chance to try Avery's Coconut Porter from the Barrels and Botanicals series. It's no Momi Hiwa, but it's an excellent offering for the price.

 

Finally opened my Salted Caramel Dark Star from S26 the other day... way too sweet for me, but others enjoyed it. Not sure I expected it not to be. They are still my favorite CO brewery even though this was a miss for me.

 

Surprised no one had mentioned this?

I posted it in the gabf events form. Probably belongs here though

 

There's still pumpkyn floating around out there.

 

Yeah- saw a bunch of it at Arctic Liquors in Steamboat last weekend. That place had a lot of great beer in their cooler... definitely check them out if you're ever in the area.

 

I don't think there's any shortage of PumpKYn. I might have misinterpreted some FB posts, but it sounded like some stores got additional shipments of last year's.
Even if that isn't the case, I've seen bottles at multiple stores over the last week. I really like that one, so I consider that a good thing.

 

$92 BEFORE taxes and fees, for 3 22oz bottles? And a carrier that'll just collect dust in the closet?
I dub this pricing as, "YIKES!"

Congrats to those who have this kind of disposable cash.
