Church-Key Catch Her In The Rye

C’est What Craft Beer Fest. Malty nose,amber, tiny off-white head. Full malt flavour, alcoholic notes. Medium bodied,sweet,strong for a 7.5%. good.

Strong pumpernickel flavour, spicy yet mild. Thick, creamy and sticky body. A bit one-dimensional, but enjoyable nonetheless. A great experiment by a respected brewery.

[303-20070509] 650mL (c/o tupalev, w/ him, blankboy, GregClow, jerc). Caramelized veggie aroma with a sweet background. Clear, brown orange body with a quick head and some central groups of medium-sized bubbles. Tastes like a watered-down root vegetable smoothie, kinda boozy and a sweet long aftertaste. Medium-full body. Very interesting blend of aroma/flavour.

On tap at Magpie - clear deep gold with a fairly frothy white head. Aroma expertly mingles sharp hops and a subtle malt sweetness. Flavour very intriguing - a surpising caraway prominence and very sweet because of the rye. Some underlying hops as well as a spiciness. Alcohol is very well hidden. Church Key is a great brewery and I hope to taste more of these unique experiments from them. Props for taking a chance.....

A wonderous elixer! On tap at the Castle on King A rich prtien-hazed orange color in the glass with a 1 finger off white sticky cap. Aroma is lush: rich spicey grains over some light honey-like tones and wet grass. Starts thick with spicey-tangy rye malts.... mid way you get some light hop s and some tangy sweetness...finish is delightful, rich and malty, spicey with a caraway seed-licorice root taste. This is a flavorful "big" beer and the rye spiciness just sets it off wonderfully....hides alcohol well...drinkable and satisfying. The brewer gets 2 extra points for imagination and originality....rare traits in the Ontartio "me too" craft brewing market.
