Nov 21, 2005 Pours a black/ dark ruby color. Aroma of roasty chocolate nuts IMO. Flavor is much that of a porter. Chocolate roastiness. I cannot discern a rye flavor though. Medium body.

Nov 19, 2005 Poured black with very small head. Strong flavor, stronger than I expected. Tasted like a porter to me, but a very good one.

Nov 11, 2005 Dark but light small head. Lots of flavors. Carmel and Toffee are strong but the hoppy crisp finish balances out the flavor and turns the brew from stout to ale like. Might have rye but not exactlly sure of a rye taste. Good in the fall. Not strong like a winter stout nor like a smooth summer ale.

Nov 4, 2005 Beautiful beer-nice fluffy head and great color. Reminds me a bit of New World Porter from Avery-I like hops in a dark beer. Doesn’t totally seal the deal, but a great beer nonetheless. Would like more body to go with all the lovely hoppiness.

Nov 2, 2005 Dark Dark pour from a 12 oz bottle sent by SuIIy (Thanks a bunch). Huge head at first, but dwindled before 1/4 the glass was empty. Still left decent lacing. Suprisingly sweet aroma. Citrus and apple. Flavors were a little more malty, some nuts, but mostly hops. Nice citrus flavor and a decent dry finish. Pretty good.

Oct 30, 2005 (bottle) You know, I wasn’t really expecting to like this. Most ryes are just too strange for me. But this one was actually pretty decent. There was nothing notable about it though, so I probably won’t bother to have it again.
