Speciality Grain - Rye / Roggenbier Regular

Score

ABV: 12.7%

IBU: 46

Ticks: 18

Essentially an Imperial version of our famed KY Ryed Chiquen, this strong, rye-barrel aged, imperial rye amber ale is very rich. A prominent bourbon nose gives way to a full body carrying lots of rye spice, vanilla, cherry, caramel, wood, and warm alcohol flavors. The Maris Otter base malt lends this beer a full, grainy, almost biscuit character indicative of English influence, but the Munich and melanoidin malts lend a German, almost Oktoberfesty note that pairs well with the significant barrel flavors derived from a three month stint in freshly dumped rye bourbon barrens.

150ml, on tap at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, misty dark orange coloured body, dotted spots on the glass. Mid-sweet aromas of dried fruits. Mixed taste of almond, prunes, and bread. Long-lived ending with a bourbon twist, mostly integrated alcohol. Slow drinking sipper. (Tromsø 25.06.2019).

Spandert av og delt med Rune. Amber. Skum langs glasset. Eikearoma. Smaken alkoholisk søt. Tørr avslutning. Ble vel boozy.

Draft. An unclear brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, bourbon, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of bourbon, over ripe fruits, caramel, and malt, leading to a dry finish.

Waiter! There's a chicken on my beer. Awesome label and bottle decoration. Tons of rye, maybe a bit too much for my taste. Rye whiskey there a well, fairly sharp all put together. Quite tasty, just not really my style.
