The wild rice really comes through in this beer. Very tasty and delicious.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear amber with a medium creamy tan head. Aroma is malty and bready...slightly sweet with light fruitiness. Flavor is very malty with some fruity notes, fig, raisin, and a subtle chocolate note. Mouthfeel is medium/full with a malty fruity/sweet finish...tastes a bit like a lollipop.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle poured a dark amber in color with a thin off white head. Aroma has malts, nuts, dark fruit, and cherry. Mouth feel is lighter than expected and the carbonation on the lighter side. Flavor has some sweet malt, fruits, and a unique starchy twang from the rice. It does have the sweet Doppelbock thing but the rice really does strange things to a beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from arkurzynski. Pours bright clear amber with a soft white head that settles and leaves a thin collar. aroma is light and herbal with a subtle spice and leather. Taste is bitter and sweet all rounded off with an herbal and peppery taste with a solid malty backbone. Palate is medium and sticky with a drying finish.

Served in Pint glass and tall tulip.Clear orange Short lived white head, no lacing. Smell fresh cracked pecan/walnut shell. black pepper, long lasting mild hop. Also a taste of burnt oregano (don’t ask why I know this). Medium carbonation, tiny alcohol burn. Overall it reminds me of a bolder Red Hook Copper Hook
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Poured brilliant medium orange with a dense, fairly short-lived yellowy-beige head. The aroma picked up a strong and sweet dose of wild rice and nutty notes, with redder fruits, berries, and a kiss of vanilla accenting.. almost malt likka-like warmth over the top.. on the heavy-handed side. The flavor found a lot more fruity character than the nose indicated, with wild rice and berries rising through the finish.. dry, peppery alcohol and rise husks on the warm finish.. again sweet and strong.. needed a little subtlety. Medium-plus bodied, sweet, and fairly strong as mentioned on the palate.. I wanted to like this, but it didn’t quite work.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Very interesting brew - clear amber orange pour with a small soapy white head. Nose is light fruit and mild nut. Medium palate. Taste is complex - caramel, nut, light fruit, vanilla. Fun brew.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap at Capital Tap Haus. Pours dark amber red, two-finger tan head. Fruity esters on the nose, hint of nuttiness, some clove. Spicy on the tongue; bits of almond and a mild toffee presence. Warming. Not bad.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle. Deep, reddish amber pour with a small white head. Mild, fruity aroma with some light fruits, apparent caramel and alcohol. RIch, malty flavor, lots of plums and red fruits. Lots of toffee and caramel, light crispness. Some candy and vanilla. Somewhat lighter than you’d think from the rice. Medium body. Finishes sweet.
