Draught at Churchkey. Nose and flavor are absolutely overcome with butterscotch and ringwood yeast, lots of sweet, sticky caramel and vanilla bourbon. Really poorly integrated, and slick and cloying on the mouthfeel. Blech.

Draft at Churchkey. Pours almost completely black, brown large bubble edge head with nice lacing. My father used to drink straight rye when I was a kid, and this reminded me of those times. Aroma was mostly pumpernickel, brown bread, sesame seeds with a subtle edge of rye (the drink). Taste was similar, with a bit of vanilla and roasted coffee, and again the rye was understated. Very nice.
