May 16, 2005 dark brown body with a thick tan head, almost to the edge of looking like a porter. sweet sweet malts and some yeast to the aroma. flavor was smooth and malty, with the rye lingering in the background. little bit of spices and sweet malts make up the tail. this was amazingly smooth and tasty.

May 12, 2005 05.07.05 750ml bottle at Heavyweight open house...must have been thanks to hopdog? Thick bodied cloudy brown with thick tan head. Soft rye and sweet sugar on nose, then I lose the rye entirely. Brown sugar, pumpernickle (oops, the rye’s back). Really mellow brew, not too rye forward. Nice stuff.

May 8, 2005 Bottle acquired in trade with Ernest (thanks!). Poured a dark, hazy brown color with a large tan head. When I popped the cork, some foam kept coming out (l wouldn’t categorize it as a gusher though). Aromas of brown sugar, bread, with rye lurking in the background. Tastes of nuts, toffee, brown sugar and bread. Lightly sweet.

May 8, 2005 Poured a hazy brown color with a large, off white, head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, and a doughy, dry rye as well. Taste of nuts, caramel, and toasted dough.

Apr 15, 2005 750 ml bottle. This was a pain in the ass to open, with two cages. Upon opening, a loud pop and a gush let me know why it took so much to keep this stuff in place. Wildy carbonated, when it settles you see some amber color and a dense, thick head. Aroma is mostly roasted grains and nuts. The taste is dried fruits, sweet caramel and toffee and butterscotch. Silky smooth mouthfeel.

Apr 12, 2005 Thick Red/Orange Coloring with Huge Frothy Head. Rye Aroma. Good Hit of Rye Right off the Bat, Followed by a Spicy/Peppery Crest Ending Dry with a Rye Aftertaste. Pretty Solid Brew.

Apr 7, 2005 Murky mud-like color with a large head. Bread and rye in the aroma, but not a real standout knock of either. Tame flavor of both with some wood at the end. Earthy. Not a bad brew at all.

Mar 18, 2005 Big head, good retention. Dark, glowing brown. Dry rye aroma. Big bitterness and rye taste up front, fades to a dryer bitterness and some sweetness. Long finish. Medium body. Very strange beer, not sure I like it much.
