This has gone on too long. I’m impulse buying pricey 750ML beers from breweries I’ve barely heard of. I find the price offensive, along with my stupidity. Bottled Dec 2019, split with my wife.

The pour is murky brownish red, like a busy canoe landing out of the current on Minnehaha Creek. Not much nose. Bit of sweet malt & caramel. Faint.

Wee Knobby Rye walks softly & carries a big barrel. Big rye bite bouncing off of sharp, raw staves cut from an oak moments before turning to their next life as a barrel. The brew underneath is nearly overwhelmed, but manages to kick out soft notes of vanilla, caramel, & malty sweetness. Light & airy, which aids the how much of this I want to drink. More.

Good to know my foolish purchase wasn’t a complete waste – but please, new breweries, don’t put out big bottle at $20 a pop. That day is over. But this is a very good beer.
