Jun 13, 2006 (05.02.06) One pint, 9.36 oz green bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. 10th anniversary edition. Poured hazy dark brown amber with large long-lasting off-white head. Soft carbonation. Spice and sweet malt aroma. Medium-to-full bodied rye bock that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/caramel/spicy/toasted malt flavors. Some sharpness (carbonation?) in the mouth. Finished with light malt fade and lingering hop bitterness. Very good drinkable beer, similar in flavor profile to a Belgium-style ale.

Jun 8, 2006 Hazy pur into my dimpled mug. Chocolate mahoganey that swarms with dissolved yeast culutre. Creamy wihte head shows the virtures of bottle-conditioning. Spicy on the nose, not all hops, some malt fruit and biscuity aromas. Toasted Rye bread perhaps?
Initially, it’s a little sweet on the opening sip. This quickly turns into a melange of grain bitterness and hop freshness. Even though this beer is bigger than the 7% it seems to creep up very fast, maybe it’s the rate mof consumption that aides this. Cool beer, even in the warm weather this will be a favorite.

May 24, 2006 Bottle thanks to Frumpty Dumpty. Murky, dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of toasted rye malt, fresh biscuits and light hops. Yeasty, malty flavor with some black pepper and a touch of hop bitterness on the finish.

May 22, 2006 Big thanks to Frumpty for sharing this beer at Jimmacks. 750 ml. Pours a dirty copper brown with a thin lasting white head. Aroma is earthy with some english style hops, rye malts, bready yeasts, and has a slight soapy aroma to it. Flavor is zesty and spicy with some fresh rye malts, bready, herbal, with a sharp yet enjoyable finish. Pretty smooth overall and unique.

May 19, 2006 Had a bomber of this after work this morning (after midnight - no I’m not a drunk...yet).
Nose of flowers, rye (duh!), maple syrup, dried fruit, and yeast. Initially very appealing.
Pours a clear amber almost copper. The brew pours with a gorgeous cascade which
becomes a GINORMOUS fully lasting stiff bone head that leaves good lacing. The brew
starts sweet, transcending into a tangy middle and a slightly bitter finish. Not a
session offering, but a nice change of pace to be sure. The light body is creamy and soft.

May 15, 2006 Multicolored brown with a large, dense sponge of a light tan head. Nice aroma of toasty caramel malt, dark fruits, grain, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is a let down after the pleasant aroma. Same characters just turned down in volume. Medium, balanced palate. Easy to drink, but nothing impressive. Goosinator was much better.

May 5, 2006 Cloudy red/brown, decent sized tan head that doesn’t last long. Nice aroma--chocolate/carob overlaying dense rye bread. Wonderful flavor--like a dense 12 grain bread with chocolatey notes and some notable hop bitterness balancing things out.
