Bottle - I don’t usually like rye in beer, but this one is local, is a new brewery I’ve been wanting to try, and it HAS A FREAKING FLYING GOAT ON THE BOTTLE. Really, what other reason to you need? Anyways, the pour is nice--mahogany with some cloudiness and a foamy off-white head that doesn’t last long. Lightly spicy hops and rye, with a delicate yeastiness on the nose. The flavor has some clove that comes through, along with some mellow, nutty malt, candi sugar, a bit of heat, and a bit of chocolate and ginger on the ginger on the finish. A little too much carbonation, but it’s effervescent and fairly full in the mouth. A good beer, and makes me want to try more DBF offerings.

Sand Creek bottling, 12oz bottle. Poured a healthy shade of medium amber with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up very sweet toffee and dark fruits spiced up by peppery rye and sweet earth.. molasses joined as it warmed up.. candy-like and almost diabetes-inducing, but I enjoyed it. The flavor found molasses and dark fruity sweetness at the core.. vanilla showed and started to take over fairly quickly.. some rye spicage on the back--end and a little alcohol warmth, but the sweetness more or less drowned those characteristics out. Medium-bodied with low-ish carbonation on the palate.. much sweeter than it needed to be, bumping up the drinkability.. I wish the rye did a little more for it.. still a decent brew. SWEET!

12oz bottle. Unfiltered burgundy-brown, with a thin but steady off-white head. Relatively mild aroma of spiced dark malt. Big, sugary, Belgianesque flavor. Mellow, soft carbonation. Sweet and raisiny, but lacks the effervescence of a good Belgian. At the same time, the watery mouthfeel makes this quite drinkable, while still maintaining some complex flavors. Hard to pick out to much hop character, it’s all washed away in the sweetness. Pretty decent beer overall.

Brown pour with an nice off white head. Aroma is very malty and yeasty. Some belgian style spice notes, bread and caramel are present. Flavor is sweet and malty. Yeasty, bready and fruity. Nice.

(bottle) Pours a ruddy brown with a medium cream-colored head that retains well. Aromas of bread, rye, and raisin kick things off. Canned pears and banana bread are also present as well. There is an unpleasant scent of methane or sulfur initially, but thankfully it dissipates and is replaced by the estery characters. Spicy scents of cinnamon as well. Flavor has minerals, light caramel, orange zest, cinnamon, but remains quite dry with a long lingering finish of baked rye bread. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is a bit spritzy. Not a bad beer, but it isn’t particularly memorable.

From a 12oz bottle. Pours a copperish red with a small white head. Fruity aroma filled with cherries and brown sugar. Taste is spicy, similar to belgain yeast flavors, which gives way to a bubble gum flavor. Only downside in the flavor was a slight mineral finish. Hides the alcohol nicely. Beer leaves a lot of lacing on my glass. Really solid beer, especially considering the price.

12 oz bottle from Casanova. Caramel colored pour, big fluffy white head. Yeasty, dark fruit aroma. Flavor is more dark fruit with a sweet chewy mouthfeel and a slight hoppy bite in the finish. Very good beer for the price.
