CO Barrel Aged Stouts

Not a stout but I will be buying a ton of these.

 

Feels like Odell might be going to the way of Great Divide and re-focusing on what made them so good in the first place.

 

As big as they are, they’ve been doing a good job evolving with the current beer trends while still maintaining their identity.

 

Big Bad Baptist Reserve.

Plus the Triple Baptist on Almonds is a pretty good firkin.
About to try the SMores Imp Stout

 

Reserve taproom only?

And I haven't chased a beer in a long while but I'm gonna be checking the database for their trucks license plate number.

 

You know ya boi gotchu

 

Epic slowly edged their way into making my favorite stouts with the exception of Fremont. Can't wait for a release date.

 

Reserve wasn't on tap, just the 22oz bottles for $19 each.
Only released 5 cases this time. Sounds like it's a "preview".
The remaining 595 cases will probably hit disto, but I haven't heard word on when/where.

I'll open a bottle tonight and see if I need to camp out on their step.
I was actually a little surprised they had any left at 7:30PM last night with only 60 bottles available (assuming a case is 12 bottles). But then I've found that even though Epic is always busy, a good many of the people there aren't big stout fans.

 

It's terrible, no one buy it

 

Gtfo

 

Love the no more big bottle format decision.

 

More bottles are being released on 4/20. No other details yet.

 

I thought it was pretty amazing. It actually had a bit of a sweet flavor to it, from the coconut and rum, maybe. Nothing was overpowering, all the mentioned flavors made an appearance. I took over 2 hours to drink it and I swear as it warmes Baptista made an appearance
Wish I had grabbed more, this beer is easily worth a $1/oz, but comes in under that
Now I'm waiting for 4/20

 

What was the bottle limit on these? 1 per?

 

No limit listed and they didn't mention one when I was there Fri night.

 

10-4. Kind of surprising since there was only 5 cases but like you said before, most of the people that go in there don’t seem to be the big stout crowd. I actually like the Epic taproom a lot but I could definitely do without the usual clientele that is there.

 

Just got around to trying this out last night. Agreed. Up there with my favorites.

 

Found bottles in Laramie last weekend for $5/each. That’s half of what ya see them for a mile from the brewery... wtf

 

Comrade is tapping BA Quit Stalin tomorrow for their 4th Anniversary party. Aged in Breckenridge Bourbon barrels, along with 3 variants. Straight, vanilla, chocolate coconut, maple coffee.
