Yes, we know it's summer and that most folks crave something lighter to quench their thirst during the warmer months of the year. But when one of our favorite brewers launches a mighty delicious sounding beer that leans towards the much much darker and slightly heavier side of the Craft Beer spectrum, we pretty much ignore the season and give that beer a try.
This is exactly what happened when an email from Longmont, Colorado's Oskar Blues Brewery landed in our inbox announcing the release in their " Death By..." series. Here's what Oskar Blues has to say about their Death by Affogato:
Death By Affogato begins with a rich, dark porter brewed with chocolate malt and malted oats to complement roasty coffee and creamy vanilla. Using Spinbot 5000 technology, this malty porter is infused with cacao nibs, hand-split Ugandan and Madagascar vanilla beans and coffee from Colorado's own Traction Coffee Roasters. The result is a hedonistic beer drowning in flavors of milk and dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla and caramel. Surprising notes of caramelized sugar, toasted marshmallows and breakfast cereal round out a porter appropriate for an aperitivo or a late-night snack.Mmm mmm mmm! That sounds absolutely delicious and we were quite excited to give this a try. To find out if this beer lived up to our expectations, click the play button on the following video:
