The life of an old-time cutter? Well, it wasn’t always long but it could be just long enough to benefit generations. Floyd McCoy is a fine example. He cut around central Indiana until injured by a limestone slab in 1959. And while he finally succumbed to his wounds, it wasn’t before starting a fine legacy of his own, by grandfathering one of the founders of Cutters Brewing Co. Our salute is a Scotch Ale worthy of his name. Floyd’s Folly pours a nice amber color with a light tan head and boasts of full-roasted malt and caramel flavors. One taste and you’ll be thanking old Floyd, too.

Clear brown color with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of roast malt, caramel and hops. Medium-bodied with flavors of earthy malt, sweet caramel and mild floral hops. The finish is sweet with a short grainy malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

12oz bottle. Pretty sure there is an infection setting in. Aroma has a faint acetic twang, a loss of other elements and a light musk. Flavor not as bad. Still lots of caramel coming out but it’s more like sweetness and emptiness after that. Would like to retry a fresh better bottle.

tap at Three Fires Sep 13, 2013 - Pours dark amber with minimal head and a malty aroma with some alcohol and a touch of fruit. The flavor is sweet with caramel and some mild hops bitterness that carries into the finish. It’s medium bodied. Pretty good.

Bottle shared with shrubber85. Caramel malt, peat, oak, and soapy aroma. Amber with a gargantuan tan head. Caramel malt, citric tartness, tannic oak, and bitter flavor. Something about the citric/bitter/tannic combo clashed a bit, and would have balanced better with a little more sweetness.. Light to medium body with a dry finish.

Bottle. Sweet caramel malt, lactic acid and oak aroma. Clear amber with explosive head. Sweet caramel malt and acidically bitter citrus flavor. Nice body. Not bad - pretty tart. Would have like a more forward maltiness.
