53/100) Wasatch, Nitro Polygamy

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Apricot, Devastator, Polygamy

Polygamy porter on nitro? There really shouldn't be any more incentive needed to get you try Wasatch's beers. Not only is it exemplary of the porter style, but it is just so much fun to confuse your friends by saying "Polygamy's awesome." Of course, you probably mean the beer, but they don't have to know that do they?

Apricot Hefeweizen) The wheat flavors lacked, and though the apricot touch in the finish lingered well, it didn't inspire. When I poured the beer though, it formed a nice thick head, and the aroma made me want to just keep smelling. In fact, I think this beer smells better than it tastes. ☆☆☆

Devastator Double Bock) The back of this beer's bottle says, "if you're going to sin, sin big." Not exactly sound advice, but it does fit Wasatch's unique advertising style. Regardless, this 8% ABV doppelbock hit hard but went down smoothly. I tend not to like bocks if they are too sweet and this one's sweetness presented itself just subtly enough for me to enjoy. Nothing to complain about on this one. It's solid even if it is not devastatingly good. ☆☆☆☆

Polygamy Nitro Porter) The roasted loveliness of the normal polygamy porter was still present. I had worried that it would be masked behind the nitro bubbles. However, that could be because my bottle's effervescence erred on the side of weak leaving me with little to no foam. I plan to find this beer on tap to see how good it really can be. Nitrogen escapes from liquids faster than carbonation so the direct infusion of the tap should give it the intended creaminess my bottle lacked . ☆☆☆☆

Update (7-26-2015): I had a friend recommend that I retry Devastator, but this time at room temp. I did. You should too. It's okay cold, but it is devastatingly good warm. The main flavors grow maltier, and the effervescence accents the smoothness without a single hiccup.
