nuplastikk (1157), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Apr 29, 2009 Draft. Amber-brown color with a nice foamy head. Fresh malt aroma. Luscious malty tones, reminiscent of a quality Bierre De Garde. Smooth, fluffy, and mellow with a subtle twang. This really does Rye right. Mellow dark malty caramel tones. Subtle and excellent. Holdwine (904), Beertimore, Maryland, USA May 18, 2007 A winner of a rye. Creamy vanilla with a dry rye taste is a great combo. A very earthy brew with thoughts of a grain field on a sunny day. This has a nice snap finish that keeps you wanting more. argo0 (6842), Washington DC, USA May 15, 2007 Clear dark amber body with a creamy beige head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, rye, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, some rye, light caramel. Some dryness in the finish. Light-medium body, alcohol well hidden. kmweaver (2395), Sebastopol, California, USA May 15, 2007 Tap, Max’s American Craft Beer Fest, shared by egajdzis. Pours a clear, medium cola color; white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Malty, rye and vanilla aroma. Light carbonation. Medium bodied, roasted rye and light coffee (or maybe just roasted rye character) upfront; followed by an almost buttery popcorn character (?) - in any event: creamy, velvety mouthfeel. Medium, toasted rye and roasted malt finish. mj (4971), Colorado, USA May 15, 2007 Rye ale, draft at Max’s. Pours a clear deep ruby red color. Smells a bit of musty, soggy grains, the rye is certainly helping with that, since I usually equate rye aromas with soggy grains... texture is smooth and a bit creamy, full of husky, coarse rye and raw barley flavors. A little buttery at times. OK. egajdzis (3598), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA May 15, 2007 [Draft @ Max’s] Poured a dark amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of rye, very bready, with some caramel, and nuts as well. Taste was much of the same, strong rye, with nuts and caramel. A nice showcase of a rye beer, without the caraway spicings.
