A: The pour is fantastic looking with a dark brown body, hints of amber, and a tall, creamy khaki head. S: The oak is very apparent right away, as is the rye which gives the beer a nice spiciness. Plenty of bread, somewhat toasty, with a slight chocolate note and a hint of molasses and brown sugar. The vanilla is there, but it’s not as in the forefront as I would have anticipated. T: Vanilla bean sweetness is strong with plenty of oak as well. Spice notes both from the yeast and the rye and a charred character from the oak. Mild to moderate chocolate and molasses notes. M: Medium in body with smooth, creamy carbonation. O: Much better than regular Rugbrod. The two additives really stood out nicely.

Firkin at The Bruery. Dark brown with thick tan head. Tastes like the regular Rugbrod with oak and vanilla. Less roasty than regular Rugbrod. Smooth and creamy.
