63/100) 3rd Street and Dam

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.
Lost Trout, King George's Imperial Brown, Sugar Shack
Unusual brown bottle surprise! My sister brought me back an unusual bottle from Dillon Dam Brewery in Colorado, and the others I picked up on a trip to grandma's. I know little about either of these breweries, except that I can't find them in my own state.

Lost Trout) Don't you just love the bottle art on this one? The liddle twout on the milk carton looks so adorable. The description on the back is just great as well. Check it out sometime. It's on Third Street Brewhouse's website. The beer itself is a simple, light pleasant brown. Nothing muddies up its waters all that much, and the little trout just remains hidden. No surprises here. ☆☆☆

King George's Imperial Brown)  Firstly, some things stood out to me about the bottle. The ABV had been written on it in black marker, and the picture of King George was just enough pixelated that I suspect a photo too small for this purpose was used. Not the best imperial brown I've ever had eitehr. The booziness overwhelmed most of the flavors leaving me searching for drowned flavors that never surfaced. ☆☆

Sugar Shack) is a maple stout. Need I say more? Apparently, Third Street has exclusive rights to a local Abbey's syrup storehouses. The maple hid a little, but this stout filled out with solid richness. The coffee notes were subdued, thankfully. I really liked this one. ☆☆☆☆
