Pours a dark clear amber with a soft floral aroma. Hint of honey, aroma of lightly roasted nuts and ginger. Taste is initally dry but tapers off to a sweet rich malted finish

Copper color with a smaller off white head. Aromas of dark caramel and lightly yeasty dough. Light darker malt flavors with light caramel and a hint of wild honey. Not strong in the rye department as the feel and light spicy rye bite were not in the forefront. Again a very easy drinking brew.

Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub at any time. This brew pours a coppery brown color with an off-white small head. Nice lacing after the head retraction. Aromas include nutty bready, roasted grain and plenty of sweet pine. A very hoppy charged rye brew per se. At the palate some secondary tastes include bubblegum, and candy sugar. Very smooth and silky finish.

Medium caramel color. Extremely sharp flavor-peppery, grapefruit. From other raters, I’m getting the impression Bob changes things up every time he makes a new batch of the same beer. This could never be described as a normal lager or nothing one wouldn’t remember. Hits the back of the tongue and you’ll notice it.

Very good flavor - dry, crisp rye flavor with a fest-like nutty malt backing. Balancing hops.

Pours to a nice copper color. Rye grains are prominent in the aroma. Light pepper. The flavor is dominated by rye. Good grass hops but I wish they’d dry hop the hell out of this beer. Touch of banana (probably not actually there). Toasted and roasted malts. Light touch of white pepper. A nicely made beer. The palate was medium bodied, smooth, and velvety.
