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.

(12oz bottle) Small brown head that dissipates fairly quickly, atop a brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, nutty, coffee, rye, some bittersweet chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, coffee with cream, some nutty, light salty, lactic sourness. Creamy medium body.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ClarkVV (thanks!). Poured a dark black, with red edges, and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of rye, roasted malts, bread, and some dark fruits. Tastes of bread, chocolate, some coffee, rye, roasted malts, caramel, and dark fruits. I found the aromas to be on the stronger side compared to the tastes (product of the age?). Body was also a little on the thin side. Lacing left on the glass. Overall all a very good beer that I’m glad I had the chance to enjoy!

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, nuts, rye, and orange peel. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of citrus.

Batch 7235: Pours a fairly viscous opaque with a lightly-lacing tan head. Aroma of earthy rye and some faintly burnt black malt. Body starts semi-sweet with a touch of caramel malty flavor, lots of toasty rye and a lingering earthy roasted finish with hints of smoke. An interesting and enjoyable stout. I have a old bottle of this that I’ll have to try soon.

Pours tar black. A murky, dark orange/brown color is revealed when held up to the sun. Small, fizzy, light brown head. The nose is of vanilla, and chocolate. Some cola and smoke as well. A rich, dark chocolate flavor. Lightly bitter, moderately tart and acidic. Well-balanced. Full-bodied with a heavy, oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, dry finish with rye notes. Being a big fan of rye whiskey, I can't help but delight in this beer. Very nice!

Bottled. Dark brown coloured. Loads of coffee in the aroma and in the flavour. Very dry. Slightly sour.

Juggling the stout language quite beautifully with its rich chocolate flakes on a bed of friendly bitterness...A charming dark fruit wine accent invites you to the end of the glass...The joy of discovering a strange meal...

Bottled: Dark brown/red coloured. Brown dense head. Smoke, chocolate and sweetness in the aroma. Not so distinct. Chcolate, coffee, and hops in the flavour. Is quite thin bodied. Light sourness in the beer. Might be a little too old. Ends on a light sour bitterness.
