3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
8/21/10. 12oz bottle labeled "Busted Knuckle" via cbfobes! Light red pour with a small off-white head. Faint grainy chocolate smell with some caramel. Light caramel flavor with an almost acidic medicinal finish layered in chocolate. Hmmm.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
The Dan Journal #352. Tasted 6/7/10. 12oz bottle. Filtered with an amber hue. Thick ring of head. Aromas of soggy bread and lake water. Mildly malty and cluttered. Meh...
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear medium amber, moderate off-white head, only temporary lace. Faint nutty aroma. Malt-forward flavors, nutty with enough caramel to be decidedly sweet, hops aromatics provide some orange citrus character, but only a little bitterness. Medium bodied, drinkable. Nice amber.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the Tied House. Filtered amber-copper color. Patchy, oily head. Bitter, with a solid malty backbone, solid balance between the amber malt and the bittering hops. A touch watery still, not thick, a touch stronger than typical Gray’s fare, but still fails to surpass regularity.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Ruby-brown pour with light tan head. Aroma of malt and caramal. Nice flavor- malty, caramel, semi-sweet. Easy to drink, goes down nice and easy. Left a nice aftertaste.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thanks to Skyview! Copper color with a thin head. Sweet grain, bread and caramel aroma. Rich malt flavor. Moderate caramel and nut notes. Dry and earthy finish. Simple, but quite nice!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
A couple pitchers of these on St. PAtty’s Day weekend. Poured an orangeish copper colour with medium sized white head. Creamy top, whether you believe it or not. Aroma is faint, find a picture to paint. With soft caramel, wheat and peat. Taste is light but satisfying."
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Tap) Pours a reddish amber color with very little head. Strong butterscotch in the aroma, with sweet caramel malts also being pretty prominent in the nose. Sweet toffee and stale hop in the taste. Some nut possibly in there as well. Under all of this is a cloying sweetness, with lots of buttery flavor as well. This really took away from the enjoyment of the beer, in my opinion. This possibly had to do with the fact I had this beer at the end of October, which appears to be out of season. Regardless, drinkability on this one is pretty good despite the problems I mentioned above.
