Light amber orange color, clear. Light hop aroma and grassy hop flavor. Caraway just barely noticeable. sticks to the palate.

Draft at the source. Clear yellow color. Aroma of pine and white pepper. Taste is bitter pine. Plain.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of molasses, sweet malt. Flavor features more of the grainy, rye notes and lots of sweetness from the molasses and malt. Not my favorite beer, but interesting for what it is. 6/4/6/3/12 (3.1/5)

On tap at the brewpub. Murky copper color with a small white head... Leaves a tiny bit of lacing. Light malty aroma. Taste is sweet malts and molasses, Rye grains. Smooth and Slightly creamy. Small bitterness shows in the finish. Overall not bad, probably Brewers’ most unique offering.

This beer was more distinctive than their others. A little more spice which works well with the malts and hops. Overall pretty good.

Tap. Pours a clear dark copper-amber with a minimal covering of off-white head. The nose is quite sweet with a touch of vanilla and herbal notes, and a little rye. The flavor is mostly toasty malt with some rye bread and caraway seed. Light to medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. Some lingering rye bread on the finish. Pretty decent beer, quite a bit going on in here.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty spicy aroma. Fruity malty spicy caraway flavor. Has a fruity malty spicy finish.

Pours brownish from tap with a finger of khaki head. Not much aroma. Taste has a bit of soapiness to it but also a slight hint of molasses. Finish is a bit watery. Not my fave beer.
