Great Sacandaga Brewing Co. "Largemouth Biscuit Rye"
32 fl. oz. crowler
Look: Clear, darker than russet brown... maybe mahogany brown in color. A standard pour delivers a decent sized cap of yellowed off-white foam but it dwindles readily. There is some lacing left behind though, which is nice.
Smell: Malty with some caramel, what seems like a bit of chocolate, and rye - absolutely no problems here!
Taste: The taste is not as full as you might expect given the aroma but it follows closely. There's some clear spiciness from the rye, a kind of chocolate-brownie note, and some golden caramel. There is a definite UK biscuit (not- so sweet cookie) note to it. Hop flavors are kept to a minimum to avoid interfering, and the bitterness is moderate to median and in check giving the spiciness that the rye lends to the finish, which is firmly dry despite the maltiness but allows some of that residual maltiness to sneak back in.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp (which could be in part due to the filling of the crowler).
Overall: I'm not sure if they were going for an English ale kind of thing with this or not because I don't really get "English ale yeast" out of it, but at cellar temperature it's quite nice and similar in body and carbonation to what you might find on hand pump in the UK. It's a bit strong in that sense, but live and let live, live and let die, whatever.
