This was the winner of their 2017 Homebrew Competition. Poured from draft into a 9 oz glass.

A: Deep dark brown, not quite black, with a mild reddish tint in the right light. Khaki slightly off white head that disappears after a few minutes in the glass.

A: Sweet malt aroma, a bit of rye bread aroma. Mild hint of oak or barrel aroma comes through towards the end.

T: Tons of flavors going on in this. Mild spicy notes from the rye, bready/buscuit flavors comes through. Sweetness from the malt. A little bit of the oak vanilla and whiskey are noted. Minimal bitterness

M: Full body mouthfeel. Creamy from the rye. Moderate carbonation.

O: Overall, a unique twist to a barrel aged imperial stout. Its not pitch black like most Imperial stouts. Rye was used to replace the roasted black malts which creates a deeper brown imperial stout. Well crafted beer with a lot of complexity.
