Yeah? I just think it's among their weakest brews, with Shelter Pale being clearly the worst of their crop (in big bottles, Theobroma is nothing special and Sahtea is simply awful). If I had to pick their top 5 (that I've had) I'd say, in no particular order: 90 Minute, Immort Ale, Pumpkin, 120 Minute, and Festina Peche - but I also prefer hoppy beers.Originally Posted by Hubbitron

I still don't know (AND DON'T CARE) what that means.
Your mom has a nice mouthfeel.

So yesterday Finch and I went up to Estes Park for him to deliver stuff for his work. This place isn't that exciting, it's a giant tourists trap essentially; but on the way in I noticed a sign that said "Estes Park Brewery." and while originally I had been planning to meet up with some friends at a new Microbrewery called Strange Brewery in Denver, we get delayed and it's not gonna happen anyways.
There are two interesting things in Estes Park that aren't just things you could buy at Target. The air tran that takes you up to the top of a mountain, and the Brewery. They let you have a free shot of each beer, in order from light to dark.
Raspberry Wheat, Wheat, Gold, Lager, IPA, Stout, Porter. Overall I liked all except the gold, even the IPA and I kind of hate IPAs. I'm not sure I'm good at giving detailed experiences of the beers, but when I drink them out of the bottles I'll give a full heads up on how they are.
I've decided it's time to start a journey to hit every brewery in Colorado. Or at least every single one within a 3 hour drive (Southwest and western Colorado has about 10, but it's a 7 hour drive so needs to be a part of a bigger trip).
I'm going to buy a glass from the Brewery from each one I visit that's outside of Denver. In Denver and maybe Boulder you can buy Half-Gallons that the breweries will fill up for like $8 with whichever of their beers you want.
Anyways that's my little story, I will post updates about the Breweries etc when I go to them and post my hauls.

Picked up a Burton Baton. I doubt I'll like it, but I'll give it a try.
Also, how do you determine the bottle date for the World Wide Stout? I don't want to pay and find out it's a 2010 and i'll have to wait!
It is printed right around the neck of the bottle.
Burton Baton is awesome btw... I look forward to being able to afford beer again soon!
I couldn't find it. I'll check again next time.
It is excellent, the smell is amazing. This may be the beer that gets me to start cellaring a few, because I would love to have this one after a year.
