16.9 oz bottle received in a trade. It looks like a generic label used for speciality beers--hence why the beer's name is a description, rather than a name. Geez... imagine if your parents named you like that? I'd be something like "Pale and Round Boy." Unfair. Call this "Rye Oil" or something.

Pour is very dark with a decent amount of fizz for the elevated ABV.

Aroma is sharp and intense. Rye whiskey is, understandably, dominant, but after I've grown accustomed to it some smoothing nodes of barley and chocolate shine through.

Tastes well done. Sharp rye up front, dropping out into a bit of thinness and alcohol burn in the middle, but the end is a very satisfying mix of stout malt and chocolate with a nice boozy finish that lingers without being obtrusive.
