Jun 20, 2009 (bottle - 11.5 oz) Copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is light and spicy with some hints of rye, pepper, and some malts. Flavor is sweet at the beginning with tons of peppercorns coming immediately after. Some light sweetness at the end but a lot of spicy and peppery notes. Really interesting.

Bottle: The aroma consists of spicy carrot cake and banana bread. It pours a dark transparent amber with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with faint banana bread up front. The finish is spicy with lots of pepper that really lingers in the aftertaste. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Too much pepper for my tastes.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours a deep coppery color with a thin white head. Aroma of spice and a little malt. Flavor is spicy, pepper, and a little malt to try and balance it all. I enjoyed it.

Jun 16, 2009 Deep mahogany pour with a quick to dissipate white head. Aroma is dominated by black pepper, though there is a malt character that includes dark fruit and molasses in the background. Flavor is again a lot of black pepper, but a nice bready character, presumably the rye with which this is brewed, comes out nearer to the finish. The tingling from the pepper on the tongue lingers for quite a while. Not my style entirely, but clearly a well thought out and put together brew.

Jun 16, 2009 Reddish brown pour with white head that dissipates rather quickly, leaving excellent lacing. Aroma is dark fruit and caramel malt with black pepper being up front. Clove and fruity esters come through as well. Flavor is loaded with pepper, but definitely not overdone. Caramel and bready malt create a nice backbone on which rye and spice can built on. Palate is medium with some pepper induced burning coming in the finish. Again, this is welcomed. Very unique.

Jun 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Pour is brown with a thin white film of head. Aroma is mildly sweet with a touch of spice. The peppercorn really only appears in flavors. Mild. Can’t smell or taste the rye other than the body.

Jun 9, 2009 Bottle split with JRedmond. Pours great hazy red body. Aroma is spice. Tastes like Douglass Firs and black pepper. Leaves a spicy, piney, and tangy aftertaste. Awesome concept. Win.
