Description:
Scratch #16-2008 combines the bitterness of two aroma hops, the lush sweetness of honey and malt and an earthly yeast taste creating a Winter Warmer designed to ward off the coldest days.
The dark, rich amber color comes from a combination of molasses and crystal malts; the Thames Valley brings a distinct earthly flavor; white the blend of hops creates fruity (Amarillo) and piney (Cluster) bitterness.
The Winter Warmer ends with a slight warming sensation from the elevated alcohol content. Enjoy this one throughout the winter months. Cheers.

Appearance - 3.0
Pours 2 fingers of frothy-like tanish head that doesn't stick around too long, and leaves little lacing. The beer is a clear dark amber.
Aroma - 2.5
The crystal malt sticks out the most in the aroma. Some hops also show up near the end.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
A light-medium bodied beer with a fairly high amount of carbonation, yet it retains a slightly smooth feeling.
Taste - 3.0
Bready and roasted malts make up beginning of the beer. There is a slight sweetness present in the middle, leading to an almost chocolate flavor. The hops round up the end of the beer helping balance it. They are used in a good proportion so that it isn't too hoppy. It finishes fairly dry.
Overall - 3.5
It's pretty easy to drink, but I wasn't as big of a fan of this particular brew. It's certainly worth a try though.
