Buttface Amber Ale

The Ram's Buttface Amber Ale is an American-style Amber Ale with 5.8% ABV and 25 IBU.

 I picked up a growler of Buttface Amber Ale earlier that day.  It pours an amber color, with very good clarity and a thin, off-white head that has fairly short retention and slight lacing. There is a definite maltiness to the aroma.  The taste was carmel malts, well balanced with the hops, and finishing with a sweet maltiness.  It has a medium body, and low carbonation.

The Buttface Amber Ale is another solid offering on The Ram's regular lineup, and a good example of an Amber Ale (as evidenced by its victory at AMBERgeddon).  An enjoyable beer that I will get when I'm in the mood for something a little lighter than the Total Disorder Porter.

Total Disorder Porter

The Ram's Total Disorder Porter is an American Porter with 5.10% ABV.  Its bitterness is 28 IBU, and the color is 80 SRM.

The Total Disorder Porter is very dark brown.  It has a very light brown head, which settles fairly quickly with light lacing.  There is a coffee flavor to the aroma.  The taste has roasted malt and hints of chocolate, but is dominated by coffee, with a dry finish.  This is a medium bodied beer, and is reasonably high in carbonation (though, for some reason, after sitting in an almost empty growler for several days, the last glass had lost quite a bit of carbonation).

Fairly mild for a porter, except for the strong coffee flavor, the Total Disorder Porter goes down easily.  The ABVs aren't too high for a porter, which, along with it's mildness, make it easy to drink quite a few of these in a night.  This is probably my favorite of the Ram's normal lineup.
