Mike's Description
Appearance - Dark orange and amber color with a half inch of head. Translucent, almost ruby-like appearance.
Aroma - Rye whiskey aroma is dominant, as it should be and it is complemented by a very slight burn from the alcohol. Some sweeter fruits come through here as well such as raisin and fig.
Taste - Delivered as promised, strong rye whiskey character with a strong rye bread (caraway seed) backbone. Slight alcohol burn, but nothing deterring. I expected to be overwhelmed by too much of a rye flavor, but this isn't the case; the two rye types go well together. No hop character, but a sweet malt profile to hold everything in place.
Mouthfeel - Spicy and warm rye aftertaste that properly tops off this full-bodied rye brew.
Overall - This is easily my favorite beer of the year because of its amazingness and that it promises exactly what it provides. 5's across the board.
