Clear amber pour with a foamy head. Aroma of toasted rye bread. Flavor is lightly sweet, with caramel and brown sugar. Then the grain and rye come through. Just a touch of alcohol and hops on the finish. Interesting brew.

22oz Bottles. Settled bread-like nose, with a light punch of caraway. Some Black Russian Bagel in there for sure. Pours a vibrantly clear red-brown, with a thin rim in off-white. Flavor is relatively mild. A gentle sway of brown sugar, toasted pumpernickel, malt sugars, bright alcohols and a faint cast of hops on the backend. Sweet, but some of the spicy sharpness from the rye and the alcohol balances. A nice west-coast hop character draws finish. Respectable. Thanks much Sean!

22oz - Aroma is doughy, fresh malts, caraway and rye with a touch of hops. Pours dark transparent garnet with cascading bubbles a small head and great lacing. Flavor is caramel and crystal malts with some rusty resin hops. All that finishes with strong rye. Palate is creamy with a sticky finish. Really not a bad brew.

Hazy reddish-brown. Deep rye and toast aroma is quite earthy. Big chewy rye character with chocolate accents and a moderate earthy bitterness. Overall sweet but balanced, a good rye brew.

bottle. small (quickly and almost fully dissapating) khaki head into a hazy amber body. aromas of moderate caramel and light citrus and pine hops. flavor is initially moderately sweet and finishes lightly bittersweet. long finish duration. semi-dry texture. lively carbonation. pretty decent.
