A robust American Brown Ale clocking in at 5.8% ABV. This ale is brewed with 23% malted rye for a distinctively spicy finish and dry hopped with a blend of American and New Zealand hops. A complex blend of citrus, pepper, and chocolate that harkens back to the brawling and revelry that occurred in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood in the early 19th Century. Helltown can always use a little Rye-ot to spice things up.

Bottle: Clear, dark brown/red with a short beige head. Rye, chocolate, leafy aroma. Taste is a leafy bitter....rye malt, an odd sort of bitter chocolate/resin mashup. Toasty caramel malt and rye. Woody....not much spice to the rye.... Interesting.

Mild malty aroma with a hint of ipa perfume. Nice and dark is the look. Yes, pretty complex, lots of malt with hints of choco and even a tad of pepper and medium bitter hops. After I saw it was a rye beer, I wasn’t expecting much but the rye in this is not overdone, easily accepted on this end. As session continues, it does get a little more bitter but I appreciate the fact it’s not getting in yer face. Finish does have some of that ipa effect happening in there.

Sample at The Ohio Taproom. Pours a dark brown color with some cola around the edges, and a medium light beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and citrus. Light to medium body with flavors of toasted malt, chocolate and mild citrusy hops. The finish is roasty with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
