Short review: Fort Collins Brewery's Retro Red
Since I liked their Chocolate Stout so damn much, I decided to try another of their brews. Most of the time I find reds to be a little bland, but this one is just fine. I'm starting to like this brewery. :)

Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Had a test today in my last class, which meant that I got out about 6:30 instead of 7. Just in time to make it to Beers of the World before it closed. :)
This one has a bit more oomph to it than the last one. The smell of it is a lot stronger than the last one. This one smells DARK. Like an oatmeal stout or something. And it may be even smoother than the last one I reviewed as well.
Not much flavor in the initial sips, but there was an immediate aftertaste of chocolate. I think this one has actual cocoa in it, rather than just using the chocolate malt for its flavor. Only 5.2% alcohol, a little lighter in that department than most of the beers I like. But it comes in a 1 pint bottle, so there's a bit more to enjoy. I'm definitely enjoying this one.
