tasty cans report

In my prior post [personal profile] h4hahn recommended trying the darker Oskar Blues offerings. For our recent White Rim (Canyonlands NP) mtb trip (photos and a brief report are here for anyone who is interested) I brought along cans of their Old Chub Scotch Ale, which was quite good indeed, malty and kind of smoky. But even better was the Telluride Brewing Face Down Brown, which I'd also bought. I'd had their Bridal Veil Rye Pale Ale, which was not to my taste, but this stuff is stellar, super-malty and rich with lots of aroma and a very smooth hoppiness. A definite keeper.

Anyway, for those of you whose taste runs to darker beers and malt rather than hops, I recommend both of these!

Out of curiosity, does the Face Down Brown compare at all to MacEwan's? We've been searching for a replacement since that one fell off the map a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure I've had the Old Chub, but I'll have to look for the Face Down Brown. It sounds right up (down?) my alley!
