4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draught at RFD. Deep chestnut brown with a scant white head. Aroma of rye bread with some roasted coffee beans. Very creamy body, almost chewy like a Guinness. Very subtle flavor of dark milk chocolate at first, progressing to a dark pumpernickel, then finishing with a bitter edge. A keeper.

Dark mahogany with big, foamy brown head / Light roast coffee and chocolate nose / Medium body, chewy but slightly thin, with good balance and dry finish / Flavors of dark roast coffee, milk chocolate, and some spicy rye on the finish / Good, not one of their best.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle (Batch 9370) served in an English pint glass. Dark brown pour with a thin, short-lived head of tan foam. Light lacing. The aroma consisted of chocolate, caramel, rye, and toasted nuts. The flavor was more rye forward, featuring a nice spiciness followed by chocolate, heavy roast, a bit of smoke, and also some caramelized sugar. Medium to full-bodied with a light amount of prickly carbonation. If you enjoy rye, there is plenty in this beer. Interesting stout...pretty good.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear dark brown pour, moderate beige head, spots,of lace. Faint nutty aroma. Full spectrum of dark malt flavors, mostly chocolate and dark fruits, a bit of toffee. Slightly sweet, offset by hops bitterness and a spicy alcohol edge. Despite the non-aroma, a very full, well harmonized flavor. Medium body, warm, zesty on the palate.

Bottle. Pour is dark, almost reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is spicy, black pepper, coffee, and mildly chocolaty. The spicy characteristics of rye come through nicely. Flavor is also notable spicy with a prominent rye flavor. Flavor also has notes of black pepper, a fairly large sweet kick near the finish and an ashy finish with hints of coffee. Interesting stout.

12 oz bottle. Pours bloack with a light tan head. Aroma is roasted rye with coffee and cream notes, a touch of anise. Flavor has lots of smoke and roast, coffee and rye. Good, but a little too much roast coffee for me.
