Commercial Description:
The Copper John nymph imitates the classic stonefly to land even the smartest trout. Its sleek abdomen adds weight to the fly, helping it sink to deeper water. Like its namesake, this Scotch ale could be considered “wee-heavy”. At Madison River Brewing Company we smoke the finest malt over a hardwood fire for flavor complexity then combine it with roasted barley to add a deep, dark color. Sit Back and Sink Into a Copper John!

Bottle from Connor, MT. Brownish amber in color. Caramel malty aroma. Some breadiness as well. Malty flavors. Kind of roasty. A little bit of sweetness. Not great.

Copper color with very litle head. Nose of light roasted malt. Carmalized sugar up front with a light hoppy body to it. Clean light finish.

Sampled at the NABA 06 Fest: Pours a dark tawny color with an average looking head and lacing. Nose of light tangy malts, a touch of peat and some grassy creamy character. The flavor is unbalanced with a bit of alcohol showing through and a lack of hopping to make an unpleasant drinker here. It’s not as bad as I’m making it out to be, there are some solid flavors and smells going on, but if you cared not for those, you wouldn’t like this.

@ Brewers Fest - Very big on the caramel and toffe toasted malts, on the lighter side with just a hint of mellow smokiness in the background.
