Claymore Scotch Ale
12 oz from a 6-pack (bottled Jun 17, 2010), poured into a pint glass. When I first came to Denver from Brooklyn, people would rave and rave about Brooklyn brewery. Brooklyn brewery is so ubiquitous in new york that I had never really thought to cherish it much. Having been away from Brooklyn a long while now, i miss my beloved black chocolate stout, and the barman at Brooklyn Bowl warning anyone brave enough to order it that it was 10% ABV ... oooh! I feel like when I leave Denver, I'll feel the same way about Great Divide, and yes that was a lot of talk about Brooklyn Brewery in a review of a Great Divide beer, but the point is that here in Denver, we take Great Divide's tastiness for granted. A: Very dark. S: Sweet with a smokey underbelly. T: Peaty, smokey, earthy and nutty. F: Smoooth. Like lace, only actually smooth. D: w00t, but not spectacular (note the taking for grantedness)
