Bottle shared with membership group (minus Clark--miss you buddy!). Maple syrup brown, light sparkle, nice viscosity, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong, mellow caramel, spicy rye, dark fruit (as it warms). Taste is strong, spicy rye, caramel, hint of dark fruit. Smooth, silky texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Great complexity and balance in aroma. Taste is slightly biased by the rye but still quite good.
