Colorado Plus - Matt's Assorted Beer Sampler
Bristol Brewing: "Old 23" - English Barley Wine, ABV 11.25% Â Â Â Rating 4/5
Notes: Has an almost whiskey taste but finishes without the alcohol burn. Smooth, very good for sipping on. Had to get this just because it is so different.
Elevation Brewing:Â "Little Mo' Porter" - American Porter, ABV 6.2% Â Â Â Â Â Rating 3.8/5
Notes: Great amount of chocolate with a smooth finish. Medium presence without any noticeable hops or bitterness.
Odyssey Beerwerks:Â "Phantom Oatmeal Stout" - Stout, ABV 5.2%Â Â Â Â Rating 4.3/5
Notes: Deep chocolate and coffee on the nose. Extremely well balanced flavors and great finish. Short presence with a heavy texture. Absolutely delicious, very well done!
Upslope Brewing:Â "Foreign Stout" - Stout, ABV 6.9% Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Rating 2/5
Notes: Light flavor, no real notes of chocolate or coffee. Â Short presence with a light texture. For a stout, much too light for my liking.
Grist Brewing: "Spiced Russian" - Imperial Stout, ABV 11.5% Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Rating 3/5
Notes: Christmas spices in the nose. Smooth start, mild flavors. Short presence with a subtle bitterness to the finish. Light texture which I wish would have been heavier and creamier. Dare I say nitro?
