COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The third time just might be the charm—Scratch #10-2008 is our third triple in the Scratch Beer series.

This grand cru has been lovingly aged since late-February, yet still unleashes the slightest hint of alcohol heat.

Scratch #10-2008 also has a triple flavor inspiration combining the caramel/toffee notes of dememera sugar and molasses, with citrus and licorice flavors created by the orange peel and star anise; lastly we create a peppery/spicy finish with the same trappist yeast has been used in each Scratch Beer Triple.

Bottle: Poured a orange color with not much head. This grand cru was sweet, fruity, spice, and caramel. The flavor was the same, which made this a pleasure to drink. They could brew this one yearly.

Crosling (1861) - Loveland, Colorado, USA - DEC 28, 2008
Light golden color with a small collar of white foam. Bottle conditioned. Sweet and heavily spiced, with notes of caramel, orange, peach, tangerine, herbs. Heavy spice and herb aroma. No apparent flaws, perhaps by being too sweet and overly spiced. Better than expected.

Poured a hazy amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, anise, citrus fruits, honey, orange peel, and earthy yeast. Taste of caramel malts, spices, anise, dried fruits, orange peel, apple juice, molasses, and peppery alcohol in the finish. Thanks to CaptainCougar for the bottle!

Bottle thanks to captaincougar. Pours with no head and a hazy amber body. Aroma of bandaid, tiger balm, raisin, mint...Like a bad sports injury. Taste is mint, malts, and a sort of strong, belgian dark fruit and pleenty of alcohol. Slightly fizzy and syrupy.

GAManiac (1852) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - OCT 20, 2008
Pours a murky orangish amber with tons of sediment. The head was small, off-white and lingered for just a short while leaving very little lacing. The smell is super sweet with Belgian yeast and tons of sugary esters. Spices also dance around the nose behind the massive sweetness and a hint of alcohol burn is present as well. The taste starts with the initial sweetness that dominated the nose. There is definitely the spices in the middle with a hint of licorice before giving way to a honey-like sweetness that lingers in the finish. The mouthfeel is sticky sweet with little carbonation leaving the sugary coating in the mouth. It tastes more like a wheat wine to me.
