Clean golden color with creamy head. There is some malt aroma, simple. The malt flavor is quite good, better than expected, with a good bitterness level and an excellent balance of hop qualities, moderately fruity and resiny; it has a light residual sweetness that makes it more pleasant, and the mouthfeel is quite round.
Good.

very rich roasted malts, the hops are present but never overbearing. Most enjoyable beer from this brewery.

Draught at Kamikaze. Dark brown, almost black, thin lacy head. Nose of chocolate, coffee, tobacco, light phenols, a touch of cabbage. Flavor is chocolate fudge, earth, light coffee, some berries. Nice fine carbonation. Well balanced, not very German, but very chocolately and tasty and good bitterness.

Poured from 12 oz bottle. Clear copper brown in colour with very minimal off-white head. Malty aroma with some hops and mild caramel notes. Medium body with predominant hoppy taste. Some metallic feel on the finish.

12oz bottle. Hazy unfiltered orange-tan body with a frothy,glass lacing head. Decent IIPA, earns some points for being 8.99 a six pack certainly. Leaning towards the toasty side of the IIPA equation, with some dry, biter, grapefruit hops. Bullion hops? First I’d heard of them..now fascinated. Middle of the road in a lot of respects, but still well executed and pleasant.

On tap at The Copper Hog in Bellingham, pours near black with a small beige head. Aroma is very black-IPA like with equal amounts of roasted malt and citrus hops bursting to the surface on the nose. Flavour is very roasty and hoppy as well, beginning with lots of roasted malt, then transitioning to the bitter hops. Lots of depth. A by-the-books, but well-executed black IPA.

Hazy amber color with creamy head. Like many Amber Ales, this one as well is quite boring; there is some malt, more in the flavor, with light residual sweetness, some late caramel, and a good bitterness level. The hop qualities are shy but not absent.
Decent.
2012-07-27, draught at Tavolata, Seattle, 6-4-5-2-11=28
Hazy amber color. Nice aroma, perfumy, some hop, malt, yeast, in the order. Simple caramel flavor, with some diacetyl and fermentation by-products, maybe not fresh. Some fruity touch in the end, from the yeast, not from the hop. Ordinary bitterness.

Clean golden color with creamy head. The aroma has some caramel, but rather simple, while the caramel flavor is quite good; as many other beers from Scuttlebutt, it has some residual sweetness; good bitterness level, although the hop qualities are moderate, some sturdy resins, maybe Cascade, less fresh character than is expected in WA; the final tends to be just slightly too bitter.
Good, but not exciting.
2012-08-02, bottle from QFC - Seattle (Ballard), 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy amber color. Aroma of toffee, cookies, some hops. Good caramel and toffee flavor, a bit toasted, with cake accents; strong bitterness, with a light lemon cookie trait.
A bit heavy on the flavor profile, but nice overall.
