Isotopes Slammin’ amber
12 oz bottle poured into a Samuel adams perfect pint
No date
Appearance 3 a caramel clear color, pancake batter head, irregular bubble in the head irregular lacing, sticky 2 fingers
Smell 2.5 faint, burnt coffee, toast
Taste 3 smooth but then tastes a bit burnt, a bit bitter,
mouthfeel 2.5 flat and sticky, not very bubbly, my tongue is not very happy. it feels weighed down but without substance.
Overall 2.7 I wouldn’t recommend it but i love the label so that is worth it.

12 oz. bottle tried 28 Feb 2011. Served in the ~0.5 L Marble becker.
Medium sized tight off white head. Moderate carbonation. Clear dark copper/rust color. Aroma is a touch floral, sweet tart pears and apples. Starts sweet and malty. Touch of apples. Very light bitter finish. Medium body, minimal ethanol.
Thirst quenching but that's about it.

Amber color and very clear. White head with very good retention.
Nice and malty aroma with a hint of earthy hops.
Medium bodied with a great malt flavor. Sweet up front with a bit of toast. Malty sweet with herbal and earthy hops toward the middle, and toasted, earthy finish.
A great session beer. Not anything to rave about but I could spend the whole night drinking these.

Appearance - Clear amber body with an off white head.
Smell - Malty with strong, definite honey.
Taste - Very alcohol heavy. Some grassy hop. Like an IPA. Lots of astringency in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Smooth body with an alcoholic bite.
Overall Drinkability - Pretty good beer, but the aftertaste really diminishes it.

Had on tap at The Library in Albuquerque, NM. Great brew, especially compared to everything else they had there. Pours a solid amber color (duh) and goes down smooth, a tinge bitter but nothing too crazy. Smooth well carbonated and it smells great, I'd probably have it again. Never even knew about this beer and compared to other beer in this category there isn't much to make it a stand out per say but I'd definitely try it again if it's on-tap.
