Available at the Wynkoop Brewery, a noisy bar with overpriced bar food and inattentive servers. The root beer afficionado will have to brave this environment to taste this fine brew. "Made with Colorado honey," the menu advertises, "a treat for young and old alike."
Review:
A fruity, honey, dusty nose. A fruity lead, reminiscent of Boylan's, with a dry chalking thing going on with vanilla notes. Smooth, tiny bubbles are just punctuation. Drying aftertaste with chalkiness -- perhaps vanilla?
