Bottle with thanks to Brian! Pours reddish amber with a medium beige head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is rye bread, caramel, grass, not getting citrus at all. Flavor is fairly sweet, lots of caramel malt, spicy rye, lingering sharp bitterness. Not a lot of caraway here, but I do get some black pepper notes. Medium body. Lingering bitter/spicy finish. Interesting, not great.

Draft. Great balance throughout. Bitter. Sweet. Touch of roasty/toasty. Love the balance. Real nice all around. It all really comes together for me. A satisfying experience.

22 oz. bottle shared by DrSilverworm - thanks again, Chris! Pours a semi-cloudy amber with a small off-white ring for a head. Aroma of rye, caraway seed, pepper, caramel, toast, earth, and wet hay. Gets bogged down. The flavor works a little better despite the same slate of notes. Light-bodied, with medium carbonation and a spicy, toasty mouthfeel. Not horrible but Id never reach for one again. Im not sure what niche theyre trying to satisfy with this beer.

Bottle. Poured clear ruby color with an average off-white frothy head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. moderate toasted sweet malt, rye and spice aroma. Medium body with a dry smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced spice flavor with a medium dark sweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting beer.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 bhensonb (12795) - Woodland, California, USA - OCT 30, 2014
Bomber from the Whole Foods in Davis, CA. They seem to have left pastrami and sauerkraut off the ingredient list, but maybe next time. Pours clear darkish copper with a creamy beige head. Aroma of rye spice and medium dark fruit. Med body. Flavor is a mixed bag of rye, maybe hot spice bits other than rye, reasonably pruney notes. Making me think this could be a Belgian dubbel variation. Thought there was metal at first, but it passed. Good drink. Way to treat an amber. Hit til its down and kill it with flavors. Its certainly not dry (its an amber after all), but theres enough flavor to solve that problem.

22oz bottle. Kind of a hazy red, slightly brown color. Thin off-white head, kind of bubbly. Dots of lace. Toasty malt, caramel, pretty spicy. Spicy pepper and spicy malt together seem like theyre kind of over the top. Kind of a metallic edge. Moderate sweet taste, light to moderate bitter. Kind of a dry finish. Medium body. Smooth, kind of creamy lighter carbonation, once it has a chance to sit and mellow and swish, but its kind of rough at first, and metallic. Not impressed with this. Probably way better to pair with food, like a reuben maybe.

Bottle. Rusty amber with a medium tan head. Aroma is caramel, toasted malt, light rye and faint spice. Taste is caramel, dark bread, toasted malt, rye notes and light spice. Caraway not through much. Body is medium and slightly chewy with a dense, bubbly carbonation. Ends with more caramel, dark bread, toasted malt, grains, spicy rye and light caraway.
