Sichel is a rustic rye lager built on a robust base of 55% rye. Its malt profile is deepened with toasty Vienna Malt, the subtle sweetness of crystal rye, and the roasted nuance of chocolate malt. A single decoction mash coaxes out more cereal grain character. Fermented with our house lager yeast and a throw back to our roots with extended lagering in toasted French oak to add layers of depth and complexity.

Pouring rich amber in color with an off-white head, Sichel offers an inviting aroma of toasted bread, cocoa husk, and gentle rye spice. On the palate, it strikes a balance between caramelized grain, earthy spice, and a whisper of dark chocolate bitterness. Softly hopped with East Kent Goldings, the finish is dry, herbal, and delicately bitter.

Hard to read the date on the can, possibly brewed May 2025, so its 5 months old now. Not bad but I'm not sure if I'm getting a stale element in this. Nose features some dark grains, a very mild vinous element, a tiny hint of chocolate, maybe paper. Flavor is also grainy, fairly balanced, it seems semi-sweet at first but finishes semi-dry. Choc and caramel flavors linger alongside a light earthy and herbaceous bitterness. Maybe some paper in the aftertaste too. On the whole its a pretty drinkable, light to medium bodied, balanced dark lager.

Ooo thick rye upfront and a crisp finish, lingering rye notes delish.
