ok. so here's my contribution to Beer Blogging Friday or whatever it's going to be called.

I've been holding onto a Breckenridge Brewery Oatmeal Stout and some Ft. Collins Brewery Chocolate Stout for just this occasion. 

The Breck Oatmeai Stout pours a nice black with a small dense mollasses-colored head. It's got that odd initial taste that I've experienced with Samuel Smith's Double Chocolate Stout. After the initial taste, it's all roasted barley goodnes.   

This is looking to be an excellent beer weekend.

I finally got my hands on a DogFish Head 120 IPA. Thanks, anonymous tipster and thank you, Joe for picking it up at Merchant of Vino. It was $8.50 for a 12-ounce bottle! Joe also picked up some Steamworks Third Eye Pale Ale and Great Divide Hercules Double IPA. 

There's no shortage of hops (or alcohol) in that list! 

For Valentine's Day, I got a sixer of Fort Collins Brewery's Chocolate Stout.
