Cest What Caraway Rye

Sample at C’est What - poured a chestnut colour with a creamy mocha head. Spicy, earthy, bready aromas. Like Sweet, but a bit of spiciness (not overpowering) from the rye and an additional complexity from the caraway are quite interesting. Lighter on the palate than expected. Nice beer.

Golden-brown colour. Caramel nose with light brown sugar. Thick, lightly toasty body. There’s some caraway but not much rye. Mostly just a nondescript amber.

Red-brown with lasting head and lacing. Mild nose is almost minty. Taste is sweet and not rye-like in character or texture. The caraway changes the flavor profile quite a bit without being detectable. Smooth, soft mouthfeel.

Objectively speaking: An interesting idea to aim at the infamous pumpernickel liquid bread, but deficient texture.
I like: Agreeable caraway aroma with its spicy, albeit one-dimensional nose.
I dislike: Grainy, almost toasty touches that would win by adventuring towards nutty or fruity intricacies rather than remaining linear. Poor light-body with full-on effervescence that bites rather than fills.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark brownish amber. has a nutty and spicy aroma. Flavor is sweet and has nuts. The rye emerges in this, but is not overpowering.
