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.
