Yazoo Sly Rye Porter

Brewed by Yazoo Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Nashville, Tennessee USA

A deep red color with a light tan head. A little sweeter than expected with a medium body. A great Nashville beer.

Draught. Pours a dark ruby with nice, thin beige head. The aroma is grainy and sweet. The flavor is malty with a faint bitterness, the roasty porter flavors, and I can taste the rye in there as well. Well-balanced, pretty good.

draught. Pours black with a faint semblance of a head. The aroma is sweet coffee and cream with a touch of vanilla. Pretty tasty brew, there’s some baking chocolate, bread, and thin coffee. The rye is even more apparent in the finish.

Draught. Pours black, near opaque with an off-white to light tan foamy head. Dark roasted caramel and chocolate malt aroma. Hoppy dark chocolate nutty malt, toast notes, flavor with some lingering sour yeast. Dark bodied and thin, oily palate.

Draft at the Flying Saucer, Nashville. Reddish black, thin tan head. Faint rye aroma, with a sweetish note, as well. The rye is a bigger player in the flavor. It actually taste like rye and RC Cola, and that is actually a better combination than it sounds. There are also some note of raisin and cherry, too. Tasty.

Pours with a dark brown body topped by a meidum thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a touch of bitter sweet chocolate. Rather weak. Medium bodied and smooth.

Rye in evidence here, as it should be. If you want rye in your beer, then give it a try. If not, stay away. It’s common sense, really.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in Nashville. Deep, clear brown color with a slim tan head. Malty aroma, with some dry rye in the background. Dry malt flavor. Hint of hops. Rye malt as well. Fairly decent!
