COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Scratch #16-2008 combines the bitterness of two aroma hops, the lush sweetness of honey and malt and an earthly yeast taste creating a Winter Warmer designed to ward off the coldest days. The dark, rich amber color comes from a combination of molasses and crystal malts; the Thames Valley brings a distinct earthly flavor; white the blend of hops creates fruity (Amarillo) and piney (Cluster) bitterness. The Winter Warmer ends with a slight warming sensation from the elevated alcohol content. Enjoy this one throughout the winter months.

12oz bottle, from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Pours deep orange brown, capped wit a moderate sized khaki head. Aroma of fruit, toffee, caramel, smoke, and earthy hops. Flavor is on the earthy side, with toffee, peat, smoke, earthy hops, and pine nuts. Grapefruity hop finish.

Sweet malty, light caramel nose. Sparkling reddish amber in color with very little head. Light caramel, some choco, amarillo tangerines and some cobwebs from the yeast. Medium bodied with some tangy fruit at the finish. I rather like it. Thanks to the crew at BOTW!

I was rather disappointed by this round of Scratch. Bland nose, not much flavor, and too much hop bitterness for the style. Only flavor is biscuit, maybe a bit of nuts. I guess they can’t all be zingers.

Brewed in the USA......Courtesy of AFI96 thanks waylo !!! Pours a dark amber color with a med-foamy off white head. Aroma of leather, funk and grains. Taste of straw, grass, honey and earth. The mouthfeel is ok and finishes on the dry side. This brew to me was like drinking a very bad dopplebock.

A wonderful little gift from Mike, in Buffalo. A style I do like, an old ale, this was a cross between that and a winter warmer and an ESB. Wonderfully tamed hops and barley, with a fruitiness. Marvellous drinkability.Pours dark fruity brown with a minor white head. Fruitiness in aroma. ABove average mouthfeel.

Bottle, Cole’s Rare Beer fest. Light brown, small off white head. Roasty hoppy aroma. Taste is more roast, some hops, and a very burnt finish. Decent but simple straightforward stuff.
