650ml bottle - a collaboration with Vancouver's Doan's Brewing, which resulted in a rye-inflicted Munich Dunkel.
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick brown colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves some random sharp-edged cloudy lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of well-roasted caramel malt, some testy rye graininess, a bit of indistinct spiciness, muddled black orchard fruity notes, some nice toasted and oily nuttiness, and a plain earthy, leafy, and somewhat floral noble hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some wan free-range ashiness, gently spicy (yet bereft of the booze factor) rye, more roasted nut goodness, a fading mixed dark fruitiness, and more earthy, weedy, and floral verdant hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its run-of-the-mill frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and not quite smooth, as that estery rye spice character takes a chunk out of the veneer, um, here. It finishes off-dry, but still beholden to that edgy spiciness. Wow.
Overall, this is a dark Euro-style lager that really brings out the essence of the rye malt - spicy, earthy, and challenging, to say the least. Kind of impressive, actually, as I don't feel like dumping the rest of it out, nor punching some mouthy dude in my vicinity (stereotypical reactions to the rye, I know, but truthful all the same).
