Review: Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

[mishalak]

Bleah! This is more like an IPA than a Stout. It commits the usual American sin of using too much hops in the brew. It comes off as bitter and not in the pleasant way like a chokecherry or coffee. A beer is like music. This piece is dominated by one loud off key trumpet loudly blaring, "Yes, we use a lot of hops in our beer! That sez quality! Quality!" If you usually find beer too subtle for you then this is the beer to try, nothing subtle about it. And the barley tastes more burnt than roasted, and I usually like dark beers. Thumbs down.

We should have a brew together sometime, we could talk about which beers we like or don't.

Sounds like fun. I've been to most of the breweries around Boulder; I'd love to check out what Denver has to offer. Email me sometime (lordal AT gmail DOT com) and we'll set something up.
