Served on-tap into a pint glass.
A: Attractive nut-brown in color. Light tan head which clings against the glass.
S: Nothing overwhelmingly strong coming through. Reminds me of a porter.
T: Taste of mild chocolate and coffee. Are you sure this isn't a bland porter? Finishes a little spicy.
M: Medium bodied.
D: These went down really smooth. Easy to drink with dinner in brewpub setting.
I kept thinking that there could have been a little more to this beer. Taste came off a little bland. I didn't know this was a rye beer until I came to review.
I would pass on this one in the future.

A: Deep, earthy brown with a copper tone, highly carbonated and 2 fingers of tan head.
S: Malts, light malts compared to the colour, slight lemon.
T: Follows the nose of light malts, slight lemon, then a darker burt taste comes in, followed by a nice yeastiness which is very pleasant.
M: Medium, bready body, highly carbonated.
O: 8 out of 10. Good beer, would go well with lots of things especially pizza. Middle of the road and flexible as far as flavours.

Pours a rich black-sable with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Aroma has a core of roast malt with hints of cloves and caramel. Mainly malty flavor has smoky and woody hoppy notes plus a hint of cloves, none too strong. Texture is the weak point, being a bit watery and not too fizzy. Still, a decent winter ale, worthy of at least a try.
