ODELL BREWING COMPANY - Amuste 2013      This is a porter brewed with grape juice and aged in oak wine barrels. It has a 9.3% ABV.  Aroma is really nice. A combination of dark malts, wine and a little chocolate. Flavor is the same and is a little sweet. Mostly your standard porter flavors with grape hints.  Doesnt seem like quite the best combination, but they pulled it off. I think I would like it a little more if the grapes were toned down just a little bit. Interesting beer. Overall, I liked it. I like that that Odell tried something different and wouldn't mind having it again. Hopefully they fine tune it a little bit and have a 2014 version.
