4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Thanks to Dad for this. I thought that this was really good. Silky smooth texture from the oats and a little spiciness from the rye. Hops are just right. Some beers try to do too much but this gets it right. Serving: Bottle

750 bought locally. On opening, this erupted. Pours brown with a light brown head. Smells of pine, rye, some light sour elements creeping in. Tastes of chocolate, oats, lots of rye, some bourbony elements with a lightly boozy finish. Unusual.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From notes.
Pours a murky brown that yields a two finger head of tightly compacted light tan bubbles.
It’s a little tricky picking out the different notes in the nose of this beer, I do get a little rye and some sweet smells but I can’t put my finger on them.
First sip all I can notice is a masive amount of carbonation, with a little bit of bitterness on the finish. I get just a little bit of oatmeal and rye but the zippy carbonation is really in the way. The alcohol is pretty well masked for being 9%.

Location/Date:Bottle split with Dave and Ben M-L on March 10th, 2012.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown.
Aroma: Aroma is of rye, faint hop.
Taste: Taste has a nice smooth bit of rye, some bitterness, faint oatmeal, hint of sweetness.
Palate:Impressive, medium body, really smooth(probably from the oatmeal).
Summary: I was really impressed with this beer. It’s not super overpoweringly aggressive, has a nice rye and oatmeal flavor, the palate is spot on.

Really liked this one a lot...big bold flavor and really complex. Has a lot of brown roastyness, hops, good malt, and oatmeal as well. Some sweetness but it’s suprisingly muted for a 9% beer. Full flavor without being too heavy. Dry bitter finish which was very enjoyable.

750 ml bottle pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, dark malt. Very complex beer, silky mouthfeel, with a spicy finish. Very unique..

cloudy reddish brown pour with a thick head.
aroma is woody, cedar, light cherry and booze tones as well as chocolate.
flavour was woody again, citrusy hop and some smoothness from the oats. Not getting very much rye spice though.

Bottle - thanks Ashley! Murky brown pour with a nice frothy/foamy cream head. Great nose of caramel and pine/spruce. Medium palate. Taste is pine, cedar, some bready/caramel malts, and a touch of spice. Very nice.
