Commercial Description:
Basement Batch is is a traditional American-style Pale Ale. Much like our infamouse award-winning choc beer, it's handcrafted with only the finest ingredients. Starting with a base of American-grown 2-row malted barley we add liberal amounts of caramel and Victory malts to give Basement Batch a rich, almost nutty, malt backbone to complement the unique citrus character Cascade hops, which are the gold standard for this style. Like all of our choc beers, Basment Batch is "bottle conditioned," which means that it's fermented a second time while in the bottle. This long-established method of carbonating beer will leave a thin layer of yeast on the bottom of the bottle. So, pour slowly and carefully to maintain clarity,and enjoy!

Short, 12oz twist-off bottle. Beautiful pour. Deep copper color, white head. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, sweet honey, citrus hop, hints of chocolate. Nice malt. Flavor has a bold malt, sharp bitterness, great balance. I wish we had more of this beer locally. It is good. Finishes with some chocolate and nice hop bitterness.

Light pale ale. Weird lemon/pledge taste that really throws the beer off. Not very good.

Medium copper colored body with a rocky light khaki head. Aroma of decent oranges and sharp walnuts. There is also some toast. The taste is sweet with some toasted almonds and hints of citrus. A little over carbonated in my bottles. Decent, but lacking much on hops.

Thanks to Darkover for the trade. This beer pours a clear golden orange color with a medium and fluffy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Large thin patches of lace that slide down the glass quickly. Grassy hops and grainy malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of grassy hops, toasted malt and mild fruits. The finish is lightly hopped with a short malt and fruit aftertaste. Not very exciting for my first beer from OK overall.

(Bottle, courtesy of Swalden_28) Pours a clear golden body with a thick off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma of florals, biscuit, caramel, and citrus. Flavor of hops (floral, spruce, herbal) and caramel malt.

bottle thanks to swalden_28. poured a gold/light amber with what seemed to be an off-white head. think i blinked and it went away. aroma was tart, fruity, sour apples. flavor was pretty much the same as the nose with the addition of some hops. medium body and medium/high carbonation. did not enjoy to much at all.

Bottle from Alamo Liquors. Pours a very nice looking clear amber with nice off-white head. Aroma of granny apple (perhaps a young beer). Flavor is nice, some malt, granny apple, a light hop bitter....overall, not bad, I think the bottle I have gotten my have needed to sit for another couple weeks....
