750 mL bottle from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA.

I approach this with some trepidation since I am not the biggest fan of rye beer in general.

Pour is a very good looking, chocolate brown body with a solid, dense, well formed head with good retention and lace.

Nose is medicinal, clean and semi-sweet.

Not a great deal of rye in the taste, which for me is a good thing. Plenty of baker’s chocolate/cocoa with some mild rye in the finish. Aftertaste gives more chocolate. Mouthfeel gives some lively carbonation and a mild prickle which more me adds to the experience.

As it warms we get a little more alcohol.

I doubt this will satisfy those looking for a big rye fix, but for me it was fine.
