On tap only.
The base stout is rye dominated. Not getting much chocolate or coffee - mostly rye characteristics, Hint of mint. Earthy. Maybe some darker fruits and some roasted malt. Not too boozy despite the hight ABV. Reminds me of a lighter Lagunitas Willitzed. Good, but has to be given respect due to the high ABV.

This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
This smells pretty minty, which sometimes can happen with rye barrels. There’s a ton of spicy oak, dark chocolate, and breadiness.
I enjoy this, but the heavy mint coming from the rye barrels is a little bit overwhelming, if I’m being honest. This is quite spicy, between the oak and mint. There’s lots of roast, some light dark chocolate notes, and a heavy breadiness on the back end. There’s very little sweetness here.
This is creamy, but finishes very dry, with a little bit of booziness.
This was intriguing, but ultimately a little bit of a miss with how minty this ended up being. Maybe there’s someone out there who loves a real minty rye, but that’s not me.
