Left Hand Rye Bock

On tap @ Buckeye: Pours a clear copper with a light tan head. Aroma, rye, doughy malts, some smoky notes, caramel. Flavor, rye, some spices, caramel, earthy notes, some doughy malts.

Red-brown with thick tan head and slight haze. Nose is dark fruit, medium hops, earthy, mild, woody aroma. Soft, nice level of carbonation. Lively but not fizzy or prickly. Good malt character, nice balance of rye malt. Slightly sweet but not sugary. More like a rootsy, woody, earthy sweetness. Mellow, characterful hop finish, highly drinkable.

750ml bottle. Gusher! Earthy, spicy aroma with some chocolate and whiff of sassafras and alcohol. Poured a clear reddish-orange color, The head was light tan with good retention. A bit of lace was left behind. Dry and effervescent. Lots of air building up in my stomach. Tasted of dark fruits, burnt caramel, black tea, alcohol, and rye. Not bad, but a bit too bubbly.

Bottle. Dark red brown color with white head. Chocolate, caramel and hop aroma. Tastes of spice, caramel, wood and bread.

Dark reddish-amber. Spicy, chocolatey aroma with lots of hop and caramel. Fun stuff. Spicy, caramelly, hoppy, woody with hints of chocolate and nuts. Fresh rye character. Good times.

Pours a nice brownish amber with a large off white head. Aroma is nice and toasty and slightly sweet. The flavor is dark fruit with a tang of fennel.

Draft @ Buckeye Beer Engine: Pleasantly surprised by this one. Pours a dark mahogany brown with a thick frothy head. Aroma is sweet, dried fruit, maybe a hint of dark sugars. Flavor is sweet, burnt rye malts, brown sugar. Good mouthfeel, hides alcohol dangerously well.
