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.

A mild and very drinkable stout, even as a session ale. Flavor of roasty cacamel, chocolate, and some coffee (these tastes are very mild though).

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...

Black body with a quickly fading small creamy head. Nutty, grainy aroma with extremely mild notes of roast. Lightly nutty flavour with hints of mocha and mild roast. Malty tang in the finish. Average palate is really to thin for a stout but seems to be sort of a appropriate here. Interesting. 7/3/7/3/14-15

Bottle. Pours a dark ruby / somewhat see through dark caramel color with a bit of a head, but it turns into mere swirls of tan with a only a slight hint of lace on the edges. Nose is pleasant like roasted coffee and maybe some black olive? Flavor is of slightly burnt toast with vegemite... nice, and it has an aftertaste at the back of the tongue that I would call almost sour, but not unpleasant. I guess the adjective "tangy" which I see was used by RollinHard in another rating was spot-on. I like the beer, but it definitely has it’s own character and it is different than normal stouts. Carbonation is probably a bit too high, but not bad. Medium body. This is another good beer from Bell’s. Why should I be surprised?

cannot believe I haven’t had this before. poured dark brown, with a small tan head that didn’t hang around to long. aroma, big time chocolate with roasted malts on its heels, coffee, molasses. flavor, a little disappointing not very robust, weak, did get the aromas and not much else, thin mouth feel. easy to drink.

Bottle. Poured black color with a moderate brown head that diminished slowly with small lacing. Solid roasted malt and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Good roasted sweet malt flavor with a small spicy bitter finish. Good rye change of pace stout.

Thanks Santa....pours out a deep brown with a small off white head. Aroma is of roasted malt and some rye. The flavor is very interesting, roasty with rye, coffee and slight fruit here and there. Little bitterness on the finish
