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.

Beer pours dark brown with a tan colored head that is moderately retained. Aroma is coffee and cream with some rye. Flavor is likewise. Very nice coffee flavor with some rye flavor as well. Enjoyable.

One of the ’10 Stouts of November’ put out by Bell’s. Very hoppy for a stout, somewhat spicy. Good.

The first rye stout that I’ve had. Very interesting. The rye imparts a somewhat spicy and non-stout like flavour, but it seems to work well. It’s on the sweeter side of stouts as well.

Pour is appropriately black. Very little head, but still attractive. The aroma is slightly roasty with a good amount of smooth chocolate. The flavor has just a touch of spiciness that I thought wasn’t normal for a stout. However the rye is masked and I doubt I would have noticed if I didn’t know what I was looking for. still a very good stout.

Minimal head and thinnish body. Had a slight fruitish taste and a little sourness. Decent light-bodied stout.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of malts, chocolate, rye, and light roasting. Poured dark brown in color with a huge, foamy, creamy, brown head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout. Opaque. Very good lacing. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, chocolate, roasting, rye, and a hint of espresso. Medium body. Creamy, lightly thick texture. Soft carbonation. Chocolate, rye, and malt, finish is slightly sweet, lightly bitter, and slightly dry.

Black with little head and a dusty, grainy sweet nose. Nice clean malt taste with dark, bitter chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel.
