Road trips mean many things for the Ill-Gotten Booty family: seeing new sights, hearing new bands or old standards, listening to a favorite author and spiritual teacher hawk his new book, but it also means trying out local beers!On this week's trip to Colorado Springs Mrs. IGB and I had dinner at a little family restaurant called Mountain's Shadow where the friendly and helpful waiter recommended several beers by Bristol Brewing, located right there in Colorado Springs; I accepted a bottle of Laughing Lab Scottish Ale.
It poured a medium brown head, medium brown hued (Medium Dave anyone?) - with a thinner consistency than I expected. The taste was hearty, with light smokiness, hints of coffee and milk chocolate. Definitely more malty than hoppy. It went well with both the salmon entree and the brownie & ice cream dessert. I recommend this to anyone!
