Big, but not huge, this American Chocolate Rye Stout fires off a lot of coffee and chocolate notes. Balances well, but rides high on hop character at 60 IBU’s while the Rye finishes it dry.
A specialty brew. Grab it when you see it. 7% ABV.

Purchased at Half Acre in Chicago, IL, enjoyed at home while creating a final mix for a musical project. This went down almost too smoothly, I finished it before I had time to review. Appearance a rich black with a smooth creamy off white head. Aroma of chocolate malt and coffee, maybe a slight bit more bitter than the average stout. Taste just went down very smoothly, rich chocolate notes balanced well with lactose and coffee. A really nice dessert like brew. Recommended.

Pours dark brownish-black with a medium tan head that diminishes slowly. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt and grain. Medium body with flavors of rye bread, chocolate, grainy malt and a bit of hops. The finish is earthy malts with a spiced rye aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

22oz bottle pours an oily, opaque black with a creamy, tan head. Nice malty nose, crackers, pumpernickel bread, spicy, toasty. Flavor is sweet, malty, bready, toast, spicy rye. Full bodied, chalky, sweet finish. Awesome mouthfeel. The rye really comes through at every stage.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours very dark with tall mocha head and spotty lacing. The aroma is rich with burnt malts, spicy rye, earthiness and some chocolate. Yummy. The taste is full with dark roasted malts, burnt malts, a touch of coffee and then surrounded on all sides by spicy rye. Into the finish chocolate surfaces and helps bring the spicy rye notes into the after taste. Tasty stuff, well done.

dark brown, mocha/tan head. lots of roast and coffee goodness here. Rye is perfect here,a dding some volume to the palate with lingering spiciness, nice caramel, chocolate malts, with a mild coffee bitterness in the finish. A little on the dry finish.

Bottle. Poured black with a thick deep brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma was full of dry roasted malts with a slight rye undertone and a hint of hops. Flavor was quite dry as well with lots of roasted malts with a bit of hop in the finish.
