This pint can was found in the significant imperial stout selection at Coaltrain Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs in early June. From the fine print at the bottom of the can, it appears the brewer made a significant effort with the barrels. Good by me. I have a snifter out for this tasting, ready for the pour. Sure enough the beer arrives a dark brown with amber highlights followed by a wispy skim of light tan foam. The smell is certainly boozy but it seems different, along with wood and chocolate. And the taste is also not quite the norm but still good. Chocolate, grain, malt, whiskey, syrup, a surprising red cherry presence and a definite alcohol effect. Slightly sweet, the same with bitterness and a bit thinner than I expected. Interesting brew.

Pint can. Cloudy yellow pour with a bid foamy white head that has fair retention. The aroma is big and bold with fresh grapefruit, lemon and a trace of sawdust. The taste, like the aroma, featured grapefruit in the forefront, with a bit of guava filling in the sides. The palate is full and smooth. Finished somewhat short. Overall: Decent IPL.

Unfortunately not for me. Coffee bitterness with the harsh BA flavor. A nice sipper perhaps

Brown with a frothy, light beige head. Aroma full of roasted nuts and caramel. Taste is bitter with a slightly toasted note, then takes a mildly tart twist at the finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Quite refreshing for a brown. Good.

Pint can. Reddish brown pour with a small beige head that soon recedes to a fine scum. The aroma is somewhat strong with Belgian yeasts, dark fruits, and pecans. The taste, like the aroma, features Belgian yeasts, some cola nut, vanilla, pecans and more cola. The palate is full and viscous with soft carbonation. Finishes long and dry. Overall: Decent, very decent, The cola nut presence reminds me of the Trappist abbt 12's. I note this is the first time I have ever been impressed with a Telluride brew. Paired well with some smoked gouda.
