Beer Review: Breckenridge Autumn Ale

As a good pagan, or least in my own flavor of paganism, Autumn starts, not at the equinox, but on Lughnasadh, August 1st or 2nd. And it's in Autumn when I start imbibing the Oktoberfests, Autumn Ales, and Pumpkin brews. Eventually I'll move into the porters and stouts and spiced beers as the weather gets colder, but for now, I'm in Fall.

Now Breckenridge is one of those brands where you just can't go wrong. This year's Autumn Ale however begins to approach a porter. Dark brown and malty, with a nutty taste. Cherry, walnut and even some raisin and plum grace the taste of this beauty. So far, best in class, I'll go back for more, especially as the days get cooler.
