4.2/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml bottle into tulip, no date. Pours slightly cloudy dark reddish-brown color with 2-3 fingers of a fairly dense light tan head with good retention, that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. Tons of carbonation streaming up from the bottom, as expected for a bottle refermented beer. A bit of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of big caramel, dark fruits, molasses, bread, pepper, spices and a bit of licorice. Some very strong, complex, and interesting aromas here. Taste of toasted malt, chocolate, bread, spicy rye, dark fruits, caramel, molasses, and a bit of coffee. Not much if any bitterness noticed on the finish; but notes of spice, caramel, toasted malt, and bread linger on the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full bodied. Fairly prickly feel from the carbonation, but this is still incredibly smooth drinking. Very silky and slightly creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden, with only a slight warming noticed on the finish. Overall this is just an excellent and delicious rye beer, that has a ton of complex flavor with smooth drinkability for the alcohol level.
Once again the Bruery puts out another delicious offering. I really have not been disappointed yet.
