7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draft at Brewpub. Poured a dark, almost black color, with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma was nutty, chocolate notes, caramel. Flavor was roasted coffee, chocolate, roasted malts. Mouthfeel was creamy, enjoyable, smooth and refreshing. Pretty darn enjoyable to be honest

Draft at Brewpub. Poured a copper color with a small white bubbly head. Aroma was grains, light malts, caramel notes. Flavor was caramel, light sweet malts, grain, hops. Perhaps not the best one they make, but highly drinkable, with an alcohol content that is quite hidden for what it is.

Molotov Hoptail from Mad Fox Brewing Company
15 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 6/10/11, as Molotov Hoptail Double IPA

Aroma: It had a nice hoppy aroma with some pine, orange, and malty notes too
Appearance: The pour is a somewhat cloudy amber color with an off-white head
Flavor: The taste is mid-sweetish, with a slightly heavier bitterness to it
Palate: It had a good mothfeel, it finishes fairly dry, with a creamy body, and average carbonation
Overall Impression: Overall, I found this to be a pretty decent DIPA. It wasn't anything exceptional, but it was rather tasty. Out of all the beers I got to try at Mad Fox, this was definitely one of the better ones.

Fennec Ale from Mad Fox Brewing Company
15 years ago
5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Location: Cask at the Brewpub, 6/10/11

Aroma: A fairly light, mostly malty nose, some caramel, bread/cereal notes, and a touch of spice
Appearance: It pours a clear orange-golden color with (not surprisingly) no head at all
Flavor: The flavor was pretty similar to the nose, light, mostly malty, with a medium sweetness
Palate: It has no carbonation at all, it really smooth and sleek on the mouth, and it is fairly light bodied
Overall Impression: I just didn't really find this one to be particularly exciting. I wanted to like it more then I actually liked it, if that makes any sense. It was just kind of light on aroma/flavor, and for that reason, It just didn't really work that well for me. I wanted there to be something else to stimulate my senses, but it wasn't there, and for that reason, this beer left me slightly unsatisfied.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 6/10/11

Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet, lots of yeast, some citrus fruits, and some crackers/bread too
Appearance: The pour is bright orange, like someone spilled a highlighter, thin bright white head
Flavor: The taste is rather sweet too, some honey, lots of yeast/bread, finishes earthy and tangy
