Growler from the brewery. Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma is heavy on the rye malt, rye spices, pepper, and some bready malty notes. Flavor again features a lot of rye, light spices (perhaps a touch of cinnamon), also bready and sweet malt, with bitter hops and a touch of hop resins in the finish. Very dry, this is not your typical sweet ASA. Although the abv is somewhat high (8.2%), it is very drinkable and not too heavy. Very well done. I have found that it is difficult for breweries to make this style well (ie not too sweet and overpowering with alcohol), but Barrier has accomplished this and has added complexity with the rye malt. 8/4/8/4/15 [3.9/5]
