May 13, 2008 750 mL bottle from Westpark in Richmond. Pours red with a huge frothy head. Decent lacing. Fruity, grainy aroma. Rye comes through nicely on the taste. Texture is heavy and syrupy.

May 11, 2008 Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours an over fizzing hazy brownish copperish orange with weak tan like head. The aroma is nearly mild with sweet date, prune and plum fruitiness, biscuit malts, melanoidin malt, some earthiness, mustiness and light alcohol notes. The taste comes off as a bit thin ushering in fruity esters of plums and dates along with some rich mildly roasty malts and vague, pine maybe, hop bitterness. I get just a faint rye twang in there too. The overall experience doesn’t really come together for me here.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle. This bottle was a gusher. Pours a clear amber with a large off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of spicy rye, a hint of caramel, and spicy yeast. Taste is tangy rye, yeast and caramel. Medium thin mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Decent.
