Sep 17, 2004 An unclear amber beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is spicy with notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is dry, malty with notes of caramel, over-ripe fruit, and prunes.

Jul 2, 2008 Dark reddish-amber. Spicy, chocolatey aroma with lots of hop and caramel. Fun stuff. Spicy, caramelly, hoppy, woody with hints of chocolate and nuts. Fresh rye character. Good times.

cloudy dark amber, wispy beige head, bits of lace, sweet dark caramel malt aroma, rich malt flavor, nice earthy hops, light lasting bitterness, touch of smokey character, mostly dry with just a hint of sweetness, as it warms the caramel gets richer and maintains just a bit of sweetness,

Jun 7, 2004 Muddy brown, fully diminishing light rown head. Very malty aroma with bold toffee, very woody. Herbal peaks come and complement the brown milk chocolate and cinnamon nose. Very chocolatey palate with notes of cloves. No acidity noticeable which I’m grateful for in this context. I think what would truly make it in a class of its own would be smoke suggestions. Rye is indeed present though, like earthy dry nuts. Airy mouthfeel, bubbly, highly carbonated, medium bodied. A bit overrated I think, but this is an original beer in which the rye is admirably well integrated. Cheers CaptainCougar once again.
