2008 YeHA: Bronze hue with a small head. The aroma has notes of caramel, caraway seed, rye, roasted malt and a hint of peat. The taste is sweet and malty with a bit of honey like twang. Rye and spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is soft and dry. Starts good but ends up flabby and uninspired.

20081221 Bomber from Abes. Ruby brown color with small beige head. Aroma doughy and nice rye spiciness plus light notes of dark caramel. A bit thinner than I expected but matches the overall mild approach of this somewhat big beer. Toasty with a sharp rye bite and grassy bitterness. Some light cocoa and tobacco. Tasty stuff, though not at all what I expected.

Pours a rubby color with a thin white head and some sudsy lacing. Aroma is malty, nutty, grain, and a small alcohol note. Taste is smooth - nutty and malty.

22oz bottle. Copper pour very clear with a small head. Very malty aroma with a hard to place aroma that you just have to guess is caraway. It’s a bit nutty as well. The flavor is malt mixed with many strange adjuncts. Carob comes to mind and I suppose that’s caraway. Its tough to pull out individual flavors as what ever they have done has modified the malt flavors but is very complimentary. Full body a bit creamy and round mouth feel. This is pretty good but the strange value would overpower you if you drank this regularly or in quantity.

Warm red cherry wood color with slight haze and tan head. Very bready aroma. Nutty, doughy, whole grain, crusty, smells like a Jewihs bakery with lots of blueberry and cherry skins at the end. Smooth palate. Low carbonation. Sweet entry, mellowing to a smooth bready finish.

Pours a clear dark reddish amber with a small beige thin froth. Funky rye bread aroma. Flavor is earthy with a slight glassy sweetness, lightly hopped, crunchy rye bread. Medium body, glassy, with light crisp carbonation. Kind of like drinking a crouton.

Clear amber pour with a foamy head. Aroma of toasted rye bread. Flavor is lightly sweet, with caramel and brown sugar. Then the grain and rye come through. Just a touch of alcohol and hops on the finish. Interesting brew.
