Willoughbys Scottish Ale from Madison Brewing Company
15 years ago
5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
On tap at the Brewpub Pours a deep reddish amber color with an off white head that sticks around for a bit. Smells sweet with caramel, sugar, cherry, prune, and a touch of alcohol. Taste is mostly sweet caramel and cherry with hints of melanoid and alcohol. A bit over carbonated with a medium body and a sweet slick chalky mouthfeel. This was probably my favorite beer from Madison, but it is still just an average beer.

Bucks Honey Wheat from Madison Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
On tap at the brewpub served with a wedge of lime for some reason. Pours a clear deep golden color with a thinnish white head. Smells of spicy wheat malt and a sweet honey like well sweetness. Sweet honey like taste with an earthy spicy wheat edge to it. The taste is OK, maybe I should have kept the lime in it. Medium body with a medium to high level of carbonation and a spicy sticky mouthfeel. Not a bad honey wheat beer, but not a great one either.

Sucker Pond Blonde from Madison Brewing Company

5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4
On tap at the brewpub Pours a clear golden color with thinnish white head and retention. Smells of grainy and honey malt with a slightly earthy hop aroma. Taste is sweet with and earthy hop bite. Honey and grass maltiness come through nicely until the finish hits with a weird astringent plastic phenolic taste. Light body with a medium level of carbonation and a sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. I think this would have been a great light beer if there wasn’t something obviously wrong with it.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear deep amber with a light brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of sweet malts with bread and caramel present and just a bit of backing grapefruit. Flavor started with the same sweet notes, had a bit of fruit come in and some grapefruit in the finish.
