Breckenridge is Guntown Beer's "Brewery of the Month" for Oct 2011. As a perk, one can assemble a 6-pk of the brewery's beers and get a glass with the brewery's name on it (or in this case, Breckenridge's Vanilla Porter logo).
Breckenridge's Oatmeal Stout is definitely my favorite offering by the brewery from Colorado. The darkest brown or the lightest black; you decide. That's how it looks with a dark nougat head that sticks to the glass with generosity.
In the nose: roasted barley, chocolate malts, the fruitiness of an ale. Feels creamy with some rough edges and a favorable bite in the back end. Tastes like it smells with the addition of charcoal as a lingering, yet acceptable aftertaste. Damn drinkable.
Arbitrary Grade (out of 100): 87
