Dec 13, 2006 Pours no head into my english pint. Has a gamey roast smell, but wow this is delicious and smooth. What better way to get your daily grains? Strange label; is that Ed Gein?

Nov 3, 2009 2009 Bottle, Batch 9370 - Thanks mibirder! - Pours an opaque dk brown with a large tan head...aroma is roasty and woody, cocoa and plum, with a pronounced graininess...flavour is similar, sweet caramel malt, coffee, a great amount of rye taste without becoming one dimensional, finish is somehow a lingering char bitterness, but the mouthfeel is completely sweet...odd brew that I completely enjoyed!

Dec 5, 2009 Enjoyed at The 12 Beers of Christmas tapping at Kellehers, Peoria. Dark black pour with a big frothy brown head. Wonderful rye grain aroma. The aroma was inviting. The taste was the same rye goodness that you enjoy in the aroma. It had great lacing. I loved this beer.

Nov 24, 2001 Another good stout from Bell’s. Not their best, but still better than most. Very smooth.

Dec 6, 2006 Very dark brown body and a small creamy beige head with an oily fade. Characterful aroma of lightly roasted grain and coffee beans, plus fresh rye. Flavor of cream, chocolate, caramel, and warm spicy cinnamon rye. Semi-sweet with low roasty bitterness and a smooth, even body. This is a ridiculously drinkable bantam stout that pairs well with all manner of seafood.

Mar 22, 2006 Pours absolutely opaque black. Brownish tan foamy head, little lace. Aromas of coffee, toasty malt, chocolate, smoke, alcohol, and chocolate. Flavor was predominantly smoky malt, with coffee, earth, peat, alcohol, and just a hint of rye. Well-tempered hop bitterness. Nice thick, chewy mouth.

Aug 15, 2006 Black pour with medium-sized tan head than dissipates quickly with no lacing. The aroma is entirely.... hmmmmm..... rye toast (talk about a beer that smells exactly as you would expect). Flavor is of (you guessed it) rye bread with hints of milk chocolate and some roastiness. Great chewy, bread-like texture. Wonderfully unique stout.

Jul 12, 2007 Bottled on 2-9-06, batch 7235. Notes from a 1-9-07 rating. Big coffee taste and a spicy rye finish. Very creamy mouthfeel but a fairly light body. Very complex, yet very good.
