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

Bottle shared by Lubiere (merci!!) served in a goblet, cold. AP06/07

App.: Very dark brown with reddish hues, large flecks/chunks of tan yeast, tiny head. Aroma: Canned meat/cat food start (MEOW!); coffee, cherries and other stone fruits, rye bread crust. Palate: Medium body, soft carbonation. Flav.: Smokey, tangy molasses and chocolate, some dried fruits, kinda ashen/mineral-like; not much on the finish.

Too much tang for this guy.

Pours black thin tan head. Great sweet chocolate flavor, followed by the roasted barley, slight coffee, but mainly a great sweet milk chocolate taste, great beer.

Rich black color. Smells of roasted malt and a hint smoky. Surprisingly thin palate and low carbonation. Flavor is nothing special - some roasted hints but not memorable or complex. Just average overall

"This was a different one. Poured a brown color with small tan head. Aroma was weak at best. Flavor was a little bitter with some rye in there. Mouthfeel was a little dry. Good but not really what i wanted."

Heavy brown body, constant 1/2" dark tan head and good lacing. Peppery/spicy aroma chock full of coffee, chocolate fudge and roasted malts. There is a wonderful underlying fruitiness that comes forward after a bit. Full bodied, extremely creamy with a wonderful sweet finish and a lightly dry aftertaste. Nutty coffee with cream, mild black licorice, chocolate and hints of plum dominate the taste. Good spicy character in the back ground with a faint twang. Another top notch stout by Bells, seems like a drier and spicier version of the Kalamazoo.

Pours a jet black color with a small amount of foamy tan head. Aroma is sweet molases, roasted barley, brown sugared fruit. Flavor is pretty light for the abv, creamy smooth sweet caramel mocha. Overall, i liked.

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