  • Color: Dark Brown
  • Purchased from Tavour. 2026 variant. No date on the 375 ml bottle.

    Pours without any head. Opaque. Viscous.

    Aroma is rye whiskey - fantastic rye whiskey. Charred or burnt almonds. Brown sugar without a cloying sweetness.

    Taste follows the aroma. Quite a bit of rye whiskey: vanilla, burnt oak, and rye.

    Medium to medium heavy body. Good carbonation up front. Dries the palate.

    This is a really nice beer. I always enjoy a rye whiskey beer. But this is not ground breaking. Sort of one noted, no real porter style beer left from the barrel. This is a tough one for me. Based on the price, I wouldn't have it again because it doesn't break any barriers. Enjoy!
