Nov 22, 2009 On tap at Dusty’s Tap Room, Okemos. Murky orange-brown body, thin buff head. Leafy, tannic nose with toast and brown sugar notes. The body is a strong leafy hops tea that leads to a robust, sweet malty backbone with berries, brown sugar, and molasses. Leafy, bitter finish. Well-balanced, tasty, and original.

Oct 12, 2009 Aroma is beautiful: nuts malts chocolate.
Appearance is deep brown, reddish tinge.
Flavor is very nice; nuts choc toffee, bread. I guess the slight bread aroma is the only place I’m picking up rye.
Fin sweet boozy slight bitter and spicy.
Medium to slightly thick mouthfeel.
Excellent.

Sep 19, 2009 Cask at Rattle N Hum. Deep brown pour. Thin tan head. The nose has a lot of fresh spicy rye malt and a nice fresh toasty malt character as well. Hops show a lot of nice spicy hoppiness as well. There is a touch of light cocoa/chocolate malt on the back. Fresh and bready with a lingering hoppy resinousness. I’d like to try this on tap as well, but it’s a very tasty brew.

Sep 16, 2009 Cask at Rattle ’n’ Hum: Muddy deep brown maroon with a nice lacing tan head. Rich aroma- dense chocolaty rye malts, spicy piny hops (spruce) with a zesty Centennial presence. Creamy silky body. The flavor is a rich balance of spicy Centennial hops and dense rye chewiness providing a nice body. Mildly chocolaty with a caramelized husk note and some peppery spruce hoppiness. A very nice cask.
