Rogueone (120), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 15, 2008 Thanks Ogglethorp: Pours a mahogany brown with quickly dissipating tan head. Chocolate, dry roasted malts and rye on the tongue, with a sweet malty finish. This is delicious, and not overdone. DavidP (1687), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA May 14, 2008 Vanilla, roast malt and whiskey in the nose. Great complimentary blend of rye, whiskey, and roast malt over chocolately sweetness. This is a great application of barreling to a beer because it’s not overdone and fits in well with the rest of the beer. ross (1469), charlotte, North Carolina, USA May 14, 2008 5/14/2008
Bottle from Ryan This one I have wanted to try for a decent amount of time. Based on what it looked like through the bottle, I had no idea it was going to pour out as dark as it did. Smell is full of rye, some alcohol, some whiskey notes, oak, sugars, coffee, caramel, chocolate, just plain awesome smelling. Taste is smooth and rich with plenty of whiskey notes, some vanilla, roasted malts, coffee, toffee, chocolate, just real smooth and real easy to drink. Almost like drinking a chocolate bar full of Rye. Good shit, real good.
12 fl oz bottle (Bottled on who knows, but somehow Craig found a date), from Juelze drank by myself. Thanks a ton Ryan!

I did not have to sign for it. It was in box 1 of 2 that I got from Ryan. The box had a lot of tape on it, and it was stuffed with Styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap. Very good packaging job.

"Gimme A Sponge BAth!"
Nearly turning the corner on 40, I wonder if this is where I’m headed...et tu, Rob?
Dark brown in color, beautiful,. toasty tan head keeps command above...lovely looking...
I get the rye, roasty and dry...nicely toasted. Dusted cocoa powder...
Taste: a chocolate bomb, with a muted explosion, dry rye reigns it in. Simply put: someone put peanut butter in my chocolate!
Cool, classical, and utterly satisfactory...not too sweet, not too rich, but with very prominent booziness.
Rye porters seem to be the way to go...put some in a whiskey barrel and you’ve got me on a leash!
Cool...lightly sweet, big time dry, full on flavor, expanse satisfaction.
Hotcha! jimbowood (667), Athens, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 wow, this is one bland, boring beer. What a waste of a whiskey barrel. To the brewers of this beer- please ship your barrels to tomme Arthur so he can properly use them for their intended purpose.
