Anyone know what and when the next Cellar Series release will be? Seems like it these releases are every 2-3 months and with Friek having been released in Novemeber, the next one should be due soon.
I believe its amuste. A wine barrel aged porter with grapes. http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/odell-amuste.62751/
Bottle art looks cool. Look forward to trying that....sounds interesting, though not quite as exciting as some of their other Cellar Series releases.
I have not been a huge fan of fruity flavors in my stouts or porters*, but grapes will be new for me. So interested and curious but a bit of a victim of a little bias from past experiences and my taste buds (that, I guess, might not be that accurate). *Got to admit, that Peach Porter Odell released a while back, which I never did try, does intrigue me.
Yeah, I saw that and the grapes are kind of why I have yet to give it a try (even when I found my local store offering singles of it).
The Peach Porter was excellent. I am excited to try Amuste as well as the DFH 61 Minute to see how the grapes taste.
This should hit most shelves at some point this week locally. Their tap room parties for new releases usually preclude distribution along the front range the weekend prior.
Had the Amuste yesterday. It's a big bottle and probably best to share. Of course, eff that, I drank it myself. It's an interesting beer. I think the grape juice adds some spice and smoothness, yet also diminishes the "dark" flavors. Easy drinking for 9.3%
