We Drink Craft Beers: An Adventure in Home Brewing

Ask us a question or recommend a beer!   Mary and Cindy.   A list of beers we've tried.   A list of breweries we've visited.   Places you should go if you like beer.   Everything you need to know about beer and then some.   

Follow us on our journey through home brewing and our "market research" as we drink and review lots and lots and lots of beers.

Expect Mary to post dazzling reviews with poorly lit cell phone pics and expect Cindy to post half-assed reviews with semi-pretty cell phone pics (or nice photos if she has the time and energy).

Brewing Company: Fort Collins Brewing; ColoradoName: Double Chocolate StoutStyle: American Double / Imerial Stout ABV: 8.1%Serving type: draught Price: $6.50 at WOB
Aroma:  Smells like dark chocolate and coffee - very light scent.
Appearance:  Beautiful thick thumb sizes light tan head, great retention. Deep brown, almost black opaque color. Slight lacing, okay retention on lacing.
Taste: Tastes surprisingly light. Very creamy. Light carbonation. Goes down very easy. Not much of a chocolate flavor, really - more milky. Velvety on tongue, smooth swallow. Feels like drinking dark chocolate milk but with a lighter flavor.
Finish: Very little aftertaste. For and 8.1% I don’t feel the alcohol at all.
Not super impressed… the more I drink the less impressed I am with it.
Rating: 3/5
Recommended, but mostly because it’s a limited brew.
