Had this one a week and a half ago on tap at the brewery in Fort Collins. Poured a medium orange/brown color with a smallish white head. Aromas of spicy rye, caramel and malt. On the palate, light bodied, with a nice spiciness, caramel, malt and nuts.

On-tap at the Ale and Witch
A - It pours a radiantly translucent mahogany hue, capped with a wispy white head and not so much lace. Overall, it looks fairly light for a brown beer.
S - The nose is quite nice, and reminds me somewhat of a milder version of one of my favorite brown beers, CCBs Maduro Brown. There is some light burnt cocoa aroma, hints of caramelized sugar, and some smokiness to round it out. More of a malt-driven beer; also, I have yet to encounter anything that I would identify with Rye. Or Lager.
T - Following the cues of the nose, it relies on a caramel maltiness that is tempered by hazelnut and roated chestnut nuances and ends with a mineral astringency that works well to balance everything. It tastes really nice, and is very big on flavor considering that it is somewhere near session strength (though you'd have to ask Ding, he's the expert on such matters); such simultaneously sessionable and flavorful beers are not found very often, in my experience.
M - Creamy and robust for a low ABV brew.
D - See last clause of (T -)
