Commercial Description:
An abundance of rye grains provide a spicy twist to otherwise traditional stout flavors. A unique approach to an entirely new style of stout.

Nice, basic stout. Some nutty flavor and a little more malt than, say, a Guinness. Pours very dark with a medium/light body. Very little head, but coats the glass during drinking. Good quality beer.

Found this one bottled (but not for long!) in St. Charles, Illinois. Very nice stout. Very dark brown pour with a dark tan head, nose of dark chocolate and canned cherries, quite mild with lots of bitter chocolate, espresso, and apricots. I like it!

Bottles. Nice solid stout. Nothing really special. Couldn’t taste anything but a stout.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Black with creamy beige head. Burnt aroma of bread and prunes. Dryish with a surprising fruity touch. Medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel, light notes of nutes and blackberries. Doesn’t have the roastiness usually associated with stouts. Lightly salty finish. Surprising in every aspect.

Bottle @ Cole’s. Black, no head. Nose is slight cherry, deep roast, caramel. Flavor is light roasty malt, some cerry, light rye spice. Much lighter flavor than expected.

A nice simple stout. Not to different than some porters. I love the color and the light brown head. Smells and taste like loaf of old fashion rye brad. Nice toasted notes on the noise and the taste buds No bitterness of any kind. Just a hint of sweetness at the end.
