Apr 8, 2008 Courtesy of mj. Beautiful dark mahogany with a high beige head. Hoppy piney nose with caramel and dark fruits. Flavor is also heavily hopped with notes of pine, tropical fruits, dark toffee, grapefruit, big woodiness. Pleasantly sweet, smooth bitterness/resinousness. Full to medium bodied with a smooth texture and subtle carbonation. Very good!

Apr 7, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber body with a tight bubbled creamy beige head that retained as a thin covering. The nose is big caramel malt with a nice accent of resiny hops. The flavor is really well balanced with heavy caramel malt and a nice resiny hoppiness that cuts the sweetness really well. Great lingering burnt caramel finish. Mouthfeel is great, full and soft with zero stickiness and perfect soft carbonation. Clearly the best of the Scratch beers to date that I’ve had. This was just so well balanced and easy drinking. Should have gotten a case of this.

A sight to behold. Pours thick dark amber color. Aroma with some oxidation. Hops have mellowed from aging. Leans sweet. Nice treat.7,5,7,3,16
