I have
tried a number of Breckenridge beers and when I saw 72 Imperial (7.2% ABV and
11 IBU) that is a specialty stout, I wanted to try to try it. I had tried Bell’s Special Double Cream Stout
in late March and it was excellent. I
wondered how Breckenridge would do with this similar style and adding a touch
of chocolate.

Appearance – It is dark with a dirty two-finger
head.
Aroma – Coffee, chocolate perhaps a hint of molasses
and dark fruits.
Taste – Very good, with a rich taste and it tastes
just like it smells with a nice chocolate coffee overtone and the dark fruit is
in the background. There is no
bitterness with this beer and I can detect the alcohol in it.
Overall – B+ – Nice job by Breckenridge and this is a nice specialty
ale.
Website description – “Just sit back and enjoy the ride.”
The
malts are – Pale, Munich, Caramel and Victory. The hop is Fuggle.
The
chocolate is Dark Chocolate from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
