Dogbrick (2209), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 27, 2003 From a sampler: While nothing could ever compete with my favorite Akron/Macon Ale, this is still a good Alt. Pours a dark amber with a medium thin off-white head and thin lacing. Rich malty aroma. Medium bodied with smooth character, with well-rounded malt and hops. Sweet malty finish. I liked it. SmellGood (296), Memphis, Tennessee, USA Sep 23, 2006 Just like I remember in the old Saddle Creek days. Should be on the regular menu vs. occasional treat for all to enjoy. beerguy101 (3468), Newark, California, USA May 28, 2006 Tasted on tap at Nashville Brewpub. This alt pours a medium amber color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel malts, a touch of ice tea and fairly sweet. A medium bodied alt beer. Malts are caramel, ice tea and toffee, not very sweet. Hops are mild and earthy. Malty without being overly sweet, Good balance. Smooth tasting alt. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. kwoeltje (1199), Manchester, Missouri, USA Nov 30, 2003 (Little Rock) Dark copper color. Malt aromas. Slightly sweet malt up front with just a hint of herbal hops at the finish. Excellent. MMM...Beer (385), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 3, 2004 -Aroma: Nutty nose
-Appearance: Nice tawny color
-Flavor: An interesting contrast of bitterness and sweetness, which makes this beer a simple yet elegnat brew
-Palate: Slightly harsh on the palate on the first sip but settles down rather quickly
-Overall Impression: The thing I really enjoyed about Boscos’ line-up is that they’re not hesitant to try style that you don’t typically find in brew-pubs. Even better, they do a great job with them.
