Jul 1, 2003 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!

Dec 2, 2002 Very different. The rye really comes out in the aroma and flavor. The rye aroma smelled sweet most of the time, but occassionally had a kind of pooh aroma. The flavor was spicy and slightly bitter with a solid malt backbone. Full flavored, full feeling stout. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this stout. Pretty neat idea though.

Jan 2, 2003 Deep brownish garnett hue. Small tannish head. Grainy nose. Earthiness is evidient all the way through. Sweetness first, firm malt backbone, medium to full bodied, with a pleasant bitter finish. Very interesting, the rye is a great addition.

Jun 11, 2005 An unclear brown beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with lots of alcohol combined with notes of oranges, and chocolate, as well as hints of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with ntoes of coffee, roasted malt, lemon, as well as hints of prunes and alcohol.

Opaque body with minimal, tan head.
Very little aroma but that may have been due to the guy sitting next to me at the bar eating hot wings.
Dry, crisp stout. The rye has a definite presence in the mouth.
Palate cleansing.
Very smooth going down and was served at cellar temp too!
I was happy to see this on tap so I could try it, very expensive 6-packs.
