Drought at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Reddish brown with beige spongy head, smoky aroma, roasted rye taste (really, not cheating from the description), long finish with sour rye aftertaste. Interesting but not great.

A deep dark ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a sweet fruity chocolate with light smokey notes, light mineral notes. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with smooth peaty notes, a bit watery but nice. On tap at Bierkraft.
