Description
Verboten, which opened in early 2013, is a true boutique brewery. The Sixteen tap handles, including one Nitro tap, rotate often so that new beers can be introduced every few weeks. The brewery also uses as much seasonal and local ingredients as possible in each of our handcrafted ales. At Verboten, we create unique beers taking typical beer styles and adding our own twist to make our constantly rotating selections new and exciting.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting XVI (Last Call) on 10/09/2025. Dark amber-chestnut color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Sparse patches of lace. Aroma of malt, fruit, caramel and hops. Medium to full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, earthy hops, and fruit. The finish is sweet with a roast malt and caramel aftertaste. Above average overall.

Aroma of malt, cognac, dark fruit and caramel. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, oaky cognac, plum and bourbon. The finish is oaky and malty with a cognac and dark fruit aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Can, thanks Mom & Dad! Sweet caramel aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate and some coffee. Pours dark brown with a half a finger of mocha brown head that has good retention and very good lacing. Starts with roasted malt and chocolate flavors as well as having a nice medium body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes very smooth with sweet caramel and a hint of coffee balancing out the porter nicely. Excellent!

Taster at FoBAB. Sample #23. A lot of legginess up the side of the glass. A black beer color, with a thin ring of foam around the edge. The smell is a nice standard Bourbon barrel aged beer. My gosh, it comes in like a very nice light tasting bourbon. Very little dark malt to distract it, just some nice multi-bourbon edge. Pretty much a solid, Bourbon mixed drink type beer. I am just glad I discovered this so late in this session.

Medium light body, Munich malt base wrapped in delicious cognac and bourbon notes. Delish.
