Commercial Description:
The most complex of our beer line-up with a combination of five different malts and four different hop varieties. Buttface has the broadest popular appeal of our beers. It has a high malt character and lack of evident hops. This surprises people because it is easy to drink, but has a higher alcohol content than what is perceived.

I had this on tap in Broomfield, CO and then also from the bottle. Tap version was a bland and boring average amber. Bottle (from Ft. Collins) was well hopped - some pine, and a long bitter finish.

Pours a cloudy murky brown color with a thin off-white head. Very malty taste, sweet, with hints of caramel and toffee. Aroma was very sweet as well, malty and rich, with a almost nutty quality. This brew was so sweet it was almost unnatural in a beer, still not bad though.

Very dark for an amber ale, this beer is almost brown. It tastes a little like a brown ale as well. Not a bad beer (by Big Horn standards...), it has a decent flavor and a good balance between malt and hops.

Dark amber, some head with decent lacing. Served way too cold.After it warmed some flavor was malty with a light hop finish. Average amber.

This draft brew poured a small head of off-white colored finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a very good lace. The body was softly carbonated transparent amber brown colored. The aroma was a typical mild malt hop one with a slight "red" note to it. The mouth feel was smooth and almost flat with a minimal "red" bite. The flavor was malty and mild with amber hops noted.

On tap at the Ram in downtown Indianapolis. This beer had a small sized off-white head with fine sized bubbles that fully diminished. The body was transparent with a malty, hoppy and sweet nose. The flavor was slightly bitter, hoppy and malty. The mouthfeel was smooth and the lacing was fair.

As I drank this for free, I can't really complain. But this didn't go to far. Palate is a little malty, with some chololate malt late in the finish. Tasted a little oxidized, a little grainy bitterness.

From a sampler at the Indy location: This beer is a dark copper/amber color with a medium light tan head. Fair lacing. The aroma is somewhat hoppy with a pinch of nuttiness. Medium body, with a tangy hops and overly sweet malt character. The finish is a little unbalanced on the sweet side too. Although I wasn't very impressed with this one it wasn't offensive or anything.
