Description
Scofflaw burst onto the scene during the latter half of 2016 and has quickly become recognized for its highly sought after IPAs and Stouts including Basement IPA, POG Basement IPA, as well as its higher-gravity IPAs such as the Double Jeopardy and Hooligan. Scofflaw's Absentium Stout, and in particular the Barrel Aged Vanilla Absentium stout, are coveted among traders. Even so, Scofflaw's focus continues to be on Atlanta's west midtown area and its surrounding neighborhoods, such as the Bolton hood.

Very hazy and bright almost pure straw yellow coloured body with a thinnish, but about a single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of lemons, crisp cleanser notes and a bit of an astringency with cedar or oak type notes. Medium-bodied; Rich malts show here at first, but give way almost immediately to a perfumey and very crisp grassy hop bite that does have a good deal of alpha acid bitterness and less of the citrusey, fruity notes typically associated with the style. Aftertaste shows a good blend of malt and hops, especially in the finish with an easy-drinking profile, but balanced with some smooth, dry malt notes, and while there is a little bit of sweetness, it isn't cloying or potent, but easy-going and to the point. Overall, a pretty nice, relatively straight forward IPA, but to me this is much more closely aligned with a 'normal' East Coast style versus any New England variant, minus the unfiltered quality in the look. I sampled this pint on draught at Lady & Sons (restaurant) in Savannah, Georgia on 28-December-2021 with my family for US$7,00.

500 mL bottle. Pours black, with a small, foamy, tan head. The aroma is leather, coffee, anise, cardamom, dark chocolate, and tobacco. Remarkably dry and dusty, with a mellow bitterness. Heavy and chewy. Solid.
