Scuttlebutt Amber Ale

      Scuttlebutt just appeared in stores around here and I really liked their Winter Beer.  This would be their Amber Ale.  Amber is the perfect all-purpose beer.  Good in any weather.  Flavorful, But not to strong for those pussies who don't like big beers. Not too big, not to little,  just right.  Scuttlebutt pours out a cloudy amber with massive sweet caramel, slight herb and citrus nose.  This is a nice crisp amber with gobs of caramel.  It also has a nice hop bite with a little citrus herb tone.  Nice balance, classic flavors,  a winner.  Perhaps, not as good as Duck Rabbit's or Full Sail,  but worth a look.  A classic done well.

Scuttlebutt 10 Below Ale

      Scuttlebutt is a new Brewery for me, and I like their nice big bottles.  This one has a fitting seasonal polar bear on it.  10 Below pours out a cloudy dark brown and has a huge mocha, citrus and caramel nose.  It's surprisingly crisp with big flavors of mocha, coffee, caramel and a bit of spice.  10 Below has few flaws, a great mix of flavors with some hop pop and a nice overall balance.  This is really good Winter Beer, I heartily recommend it.Look forward to their other offerings.
