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.

Sampled draught at Humperdinks, Dallas, Texas.
Dark amber. Fruity and roasty with a touch of soapy citrus fruits. Rather malty, but mellow. Syrupy, bitter finish.

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

(Bottle) Aroma is better than the name implies. Pours deep amber brown color with a small white head. Okay, but nothing overly exciting.

On tap at the Broomfield, CO location. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel, lightly nutty and citrus. On the sweeter side.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy light tan head and copper color. Aroma is mild medium malt-caramel. Taste is medium malt-caramel/toasty, fruit-cherry, secondary spicy hops. OK carbonation.

(Ram Restaurant and Brewery, Schaumburg, IL) Draft... DLD’08... Clear amber ale with a vanishing head. Aromatic and flavorful chocolate and caramel malts with a nutty undertone. Medium-bodied, coarse, and abrasively dry with ticklish carbonation. Mojave-dry finish. Another over-attenuated beer from this brewpub. Too bad as it has loads of potential. Just throw a little residual sugar a brother’s way!

Deep amber brown. Looks like a bock. Typical malty syrup aroma and flavor, sticky and ugly. Malty, nutty and with some vanilla. Nothing worth continuing to write about.
