3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Cavie. Black pour with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, a hint of pepper spice, and rye. Taste is a nice rye kick, chocolate, roasted malts, and creamy.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Opaque body with no head, just a patchy ring of bubbles. Nose-some smoke, feed store. Taste-lightly lactic, smoke, rye, seltzer, chalky. malted milk balls, slightly sour aftertaste. There is a sourness in the nose and taste that is not pleasant.

This disappointed me. The dark brown body was capped with a short-lived tan head. The aroma was weak Nutella, citrus zest, coffee, but little rye. Medium bodied and smooth. The flavor was a tad too bitter. Just didn’t do it for me, relatively speaking.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, from trade with someone. Damn me for not remembering. Ok nose, roasty. Coffee, caramel, little composty, egg, yeast. Brownish black color, small to no head. Bitter flavor, like aroma but rye shows itself here. Bites you. Thick body, creamy oily, bitter dry finish. Not bad, though I was crazy about the ryew stout mix.

Wow, after the DFH this was very good! Kinda a Storm King light. Anyway, looks good smells good and was easy to drink.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Pailhead, batch 7234 or so. Black colored, perhaps a touch of light passes through. Thin tan head barely has the gumption to form and then fades quickly to an interrupted ring at the edge of the glass. Modest lacing is left behind. Aroma is full of rye and modestly spicey. A dose of roasted grain blends fairly nicely in the nose. Medium bodied, slightly thin at times. Modest carbonation. Roasty chocolate rye bread is my take on flavor. Blended well the slight peppery rye balances out well with the deeper roasted grain and hops used. Decent, certainly worth drinking again.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I love stout, but some things should not be put into them. One of these things is rye. Gives a grainy and bitter taste that wasn’t too nice. Bitters lovers might like this one. Came off a little bit thin too.

Tap @ Bennno’s. Black body, small tan head. Worty caramel/chocolate aroma. Thin flavor - dry, bitter baker’s chocolate with spicy rye and some light grass. Tart chocolatey finish. A nice beer but it doens’t draw you in - too thin and bitter for that.
