Can, poured into a 4oz sample glass. Dark amber color, with a long lasting head. Nose is spice from the rye along with some caramel maltiness. A little bit of that rye spice is noticed along with the cereal and some toffee. A light hop bite finishes off this reasonably enjoyable beer.

Can at R.F.D. Murky brown pour with small skin of head. Difficult one here, so many elements in play. Rye ale and old ale come to mind. Musty, tart aroma . Taste comes in with some funk and wood. Mildly spicy with minor rye sourness. This one’s all over the board, but good.

Reddish brown appearance with a large cream colored rocky head and good lacing. Aroma of grains, especially the rye, leaves a lasting early impression. Spicy, floral hops prevail in the taste and linger in the finish. Body is a bit lighter than expected but far from disappointing.

12oz can served in a tulip. DoB 05/02/17. Given to me by @mr-jj.

Pours extremely dark amber (or a medium brown) with a big tan head and lots of slow carbonation. Looks thick. Smell is rye and spicy, maybe a hint of roast.

Taste is definitely on the roasty side, and definitely has rye character, but is overall kind of mellow -- not what I was expecting with a name like "Rowdy".

Mouthfeel is smooth and round and nice. Overall, pretty good beer.

Aggressive pour from a can resulted in a long lasting thick light mocha colored head. An aroma of caramel, rye bread, coffee and whiffs of cedar. Tastes of toffee with a faint black pepper background. The hop flavor was very mild. The mouthfeel was light to medium. Overall, a decent lightly flavored rye beer that is was easy to drink.

12 oz can, date on bottom, about 6 months old, but from the cooler

Dark amber color, thick cream colored head. Lacing. Aroma is earthy and pine. Taste is a little herbal and spicy. Medium bodied.
