Beer Brief #6 - Odell Avant Peche


Brewery - Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins, Colorado

Beer - Avant Peche

Style - Blended Imperial Porter (From the bottle label: 45% ale with peaches added, 19% ale aged in oak barrels, 36% ale aged in oak barrels with peaches)

ABV - 9.5%

Color - Opaque black with a tan head

Aroma - Milk chocolate, a little barnyard, slight vinegar

Flavor - Chocolate, coffee, sour apricots, earthy funk

Verdict - Quite enjoyable, although I definitely wouldn't have guessed there were peaches in it if the label didn't tell me. The brewery website mentions wild yeast used in the creation of this brew, which really comes through.
