750 ml shared at the recent Mug Club tapping (Flossmoor, IL) courtesy of either Beerlando or fishingnet. Thanks to my Florida homeboys! Pours a nice thick murky dark brown with some ruby bits, a nice light brownish head that dies to a nice film, laces ok. Aromas are a bit smokey and roasted malts, sweet, and well hopped, a bit of a muttled conglomeration. Citrus, pine, rye, sweet and roasty malts. Initial is a bit full bodied, sweet with rye and roast, a bit of smoke, caramel, a nice hopping that dies a slow painful death. Licorice, a bit of bitterness largely floral, brown sugar, rye, and roasty and caramel malts. Almost a touch of salty smoke on the palate, a bit acidic almost on the backend. This beer is muttled overall, tasty, but muttled borderline messy. Cheers.

Jan 1, 2010 Thanks andrew. Pours a brown color with a thin beige head. Hops and toasted malts in the nose. Citrus grapefruit are really strong and appealing. The hops are surprisingly bitter in this. Lots of grapefruit rind, pine, and citrus flavors next to that cereal, nutty and earthy flavors. Really well balanced and easy to throw back. Good stuff.

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep brown color ale with a huge light brown color head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of strong grassy and earthy hops are mix with some rye malt. Taste is a somewhat unique mix between loads of rye malt with loads of grassy and earthy hops and a medium bitter finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and great carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Not sure I would drink this on a regular basis but a very interesting experiment nonetheless.

Dec 30, 2009 This is a malt showcase. Great malt complexity, good spice from the rye. Incredibly good malt.

Dec 28, 2009 750ml bottle. Poured a deeper brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of rye, some oats, earthiness, and floral hoppiness. Tastes of the same floralness, oats, and rye.

Dec 24, 2009 Interesting, unique beer. You really do get a bit of creaminess from the oats and some spice from the rye. Well balanced in that non of the elements really stand out. It has a lot going on, but nothing really compelling. Still pretty tasty, though.
