Oct 4, 2009 On tap at the brewpub on 7/20/09: Transparent dark amber mahogany with a clingy-lacing off-white head. Dry toasty caraway spice nose. Tastes semi-dry with lots of caraway and rye flavor before a bready dry finish. An interesting brew but could use more sweetness.

Aug 25, 2009 Bottle - The Wine Source. Dark copper, thick lightly tanned head. Soft molasses and spicy rye notes warm to light swirls of earthy caramel. Soft bitter rye and spice flavors balance well on a touch of toffee grains and earth. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, lightly spiced finish. Well executed...

Feb 16, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Rye beers usually interest me, so I was curious to try this. It pours a clear dark amber with almost no head. The aroma is caramel, rye, a touch of roast, some earth and yeast. The flavor is caramel, strong rye, Pepsi, herbs and some honey. The finish is extremely herbal and spicy with a very strong caraway quality (along with some background notes of Italian spices and sage). The rye is very overstated. It needs balanced some how, and how it is makes it quite bizarre.

Aug 11, 2009 Mahogany appearance with a small beige head and light lacing. Malty, molassas infused aroma. Lightly spiced, moderately sweet taste with rye prominent in its grain bill. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. Durable finish that avoided becoming too cloying.

Aug 16, 2009 Nice looking average ale. Living in Maryland, I wanted to like this more, but I couldn’t. It does have a nice spicy ryeness to it. With the sweetness you would expect from the ingredients. Not bad, but not really great either.
