3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Tnx Bullit. The aroma has bread/rye, coffee, roast. Black coloured beer with a thin, off-white lace. The taste is sweet, has rye, roast, coffee, some chocolate. Medium bodied. Quite good.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours dark brown with very little head and no lacing. Aroma of rye bread and roasted malt. The palate is slick, medium in body, lightly carbonated with a lasting finish. The flavor is lightly sweet with rye and a moderate roasted bitterness. Reminds me of burnt rye toast. Disappointing.

This is my first sampling of some of the "new beer" we’re now able to purchase in Iowa because of our fancy new laws. Pours a black by the way of brown color with some head and some lace. The aroma is plenty of chocolate with some graininess some mild coffee and some breadiness. The flavor is again lots of chocolate with some good bitter roastiness, some coffee, some mild sweetness and a fresh fruity hoppiness. The rye is very apparent but in no way dominates the flavor of this beer but kind of works in unison with some of the other things that are going on. Pretty tasty stuff.

bottle - Pours near black with a small, lingering tan head. The aroma is of chocolate malt and rye. The flavor is similar with an obvious rye presence and roast chocolate flavors too. It’s medium to full bodied and works very well.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good toasty smokey aroma with notes of rye and malt, with a slight lactic note. Flavor is toasty and malty, with more rye notes and a very light bitter findh with a touch of esspresso. Nice beer!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to trades with both Ughsmash & jgd0608, I have two bottles of this stout. Pours a hazy deep brown, just about black, with a moderate tan head head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left light lace. Very pleasant aroma of roast with a very noticeable presence of rye. Some chocolate in the nose as well. Actually, as I think about it, the aroma reminds me very much of freshly baked pumpernickel bread. The flavor is similar with roast and ample rye, again with some chocolate. And again, I am reminded of fresh pumpernickel bread. A bit lighter in body than I was expecting. Overall, a very solid beer, and I’m glad I have another bottle to enjoy.
