Smuttynose Smuttonator

Clear dark brownish copper. Thin off-white head. Sugary lightly german hopped doppelbock aroma. Hops to me are Capital-esque. Flavor is nice and balanced. Has a roasted sweetness that kicks in after rolling around the tong a bit, and the sweetness is lightly hopped which is great.

Bomber. Poured a clear ruby/orange with a short cap of creamy off-white head. Nose was full of dark sugars and alcohol... pulled caramel, brown sugar, and molasses were there... woodsy/leafy hoppage, too. Flavor was full with about a medium body... rich caramel, a hint of chocolate, dried floral hop bitterness, and heavy, fairly well-integrated alcohol. Pretty smooth on the palate, but not-so-memorable... tacky bitterness and alcohol at the finish. Quite well-done.

Pours a caramel brown with an orange-ish tone. I poured it slowly out of a bomber so I can’t really comment on the head. Maybe I didn’t let it sit long enough (a week) because it’s a tiny bit murky. Smells strong. There’s a gentle alcohol smell with a big malt behind it. Smells like a barley wine. Tastes like a barley wine too! Ah, but there’s the smoky sour kick that makes this a pretty tasty Doppelbock. The flavor is really well done; tasty and wholesome. In fact, it’s giving me some pretty intense flashbacks from Germany. It must be good. The mouth feel is a little thin, but the carbonation works well with it. Little bubbles linger on the tongue and the roof of the mouth that compliment the slightly dry finish. I’ll definitely have another one of these!

Pours a deep mahogany hue. Very nice looking beer. Not much head. Aroma is very rich with caramel, toffee, bread, and nutiness. Flavor is lots of caramel malts, some slight roastiness, with a touch of alcohol. Mouthfeel is very nice. Another solid brew from Smuttynose.

Thanks Illinismitty. Pours with a deep amber-red body topped by a thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with nice caramel and toffee notes and an underlying hoppiness. Medium to full bodied and smooth.

Pours out a darker brown color with very little head. aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor was very malty with a nice sweet finish. The alcohol was well hidden. this was a great brew.

2004 bottle from Bert (slob) Thanks! Actually this was a bonus from him, and I was actively trading for this from Doclock, so I ended up with 2 bottles at roughly the same time. Awesome! Pours out a dark brown color, not much of a head so to speak. Smell is malty, rich, hoppy, slight alcohol, and interesting. Taste is similar, very predictible with a slight sourness? to it. Made it taste very nice, very smooth. interesting, and very easy to drink for the almost 10% abv that this beer was. Very good, one of the highlights of our night!

Had a few of these and surprised by it’s score. I really like this brewery. Had a nice caramel nose. Pure and simple. Simply a deliscious brew to sip on while watching the tube or getting a box of beer ready for a trade. Rich malty flavor.
