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.

On tap at the Ram/Big Horn in Rosemont, IL. Pours a coppery red amber brew with an average off-white head that dissolves to a fine film and good lacing. Aroma of light caramel, toffee, mild malt, and a touch of citrus hops. Taste is medium body, lightly carbonated with a slight hop bite. Finish is sweet with a touch of citrus peel dryness.

A deep amber color with a nice head. This was a great easy to drink lunch beer. Loved the malts and the light hops. The flavors where good and light with a higher than expected alchol this was a surpise beer.

On tap at Ram - Wheeling, IL. Poured a clear medium caramelly-amber with a dusting of white head. Nose was of caramel and sweet candy... rather week but OK. Flavor picked up semi-sweet caramel marred by unappetizing vegetal notes... mild floral bitterness and a sweet finish. Some sweetness on the palate and some bitterness... not at all memorable.

Draught at Humperdink’s, Dallas
Amber color. The aroma is light, the mouthfeel is dry, with some caramel and chocolate flavor. Simple.

A decent amber with a floral nose and a honey color to it. Tastes of honey, a bit of vanilla, and a surprising amount of hops in the finish for an amber. That’s the downside, as the hops are poorly balanced in this brew.
