Scurry

On draft at SpaceBar in Falls Church VA. Pours a clear copper with a thick ecru head. Aroma of toasted nuts Soft mouthfeel. Malty flavors. Smooth finish.

Pours a deep brown with a few shades of maroon mixed in. It looks pretty clear but it’s hard to tell due to the relatively dark color. Small head, beige. It’s really just a smattering of bubbles and even those fade away after a minutes. The aroma has a grapey malt sweetness to it. Some deeper sweetness, molasses and caramel, is also fairly strong. Maybe, a touch of honey, but that’s always hard to find in beer. Fairly nutty. Mild cocoa. I’d bet the molasses contributed a good bit of color because there isn’t a ton of darker malt flavor. It’s definitely more toasty, and lightly so at that, than roasty. The taste is similar, though there’s a piney hop note and almost cinnamon-y spice flavor. Mild mint, too. It’s fairly sweet, almost cloying for a ~5% abv beer. The mouthfeel is fairly full. Those oats give it some body. It’s actually more altbier-ish than I’d expected. Regardless, it’s tasty enough and they packed in a good amount of flavor for the abv, but it’s just not all that enjoyable. A bit too much sweetness without really committing to that idea.
