Scratch Beer 16 - 2008
Poured from a 12oz bottle into an imperial pint. Thanks to heliosphan for sending this in our recent trade! A: Pours a dark, ruby tinted brown. Creamy, khaki colored, 1/2 finger head that sports good retention and lots of lace. S: Caramel with toasty grain. Spicy and fruity hops. Aromas of citrus and cut grass. T: Slightly metallic at first, then caramel, toasted malt, chocolate, and fruity/grassy hops take over. M: Dry, toasted malt blended with sweet caramel and spicy hops. Relatively creamy. D: Overall, this was better than I expected. Nice!
