Bottle from Signal Variety, Plaistow NH. Aroma is some roasted malts with a little bit of burnt toast and faint licorice, slight resinous hops. Appearance is almost opaque dark brown with foamy two-fingered head with poor retention but attractive lacing all the way down the glass. Sides of glass have significant sparkle--almost looks like a cola. Taste is sweet rich malts with hint of chocolate mixed with coffee (a burnt bitter flavor). Palate is medium bodied, with neither thin nor thick texture with average carbonation that supports the beer but doesn’t demand attention. Finish is brief and dry and mix of mild sweet and herbal bitterness. Overall, a lot of interesting things going on here. A tip of the cap for making it interesting, though I would have liked a little bit heavier mouth feel and a taste that was a bit bolder.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Nikki's Liquors, 4/16/15.
Aroma: Bready aroma, more pumpernickel than rye, earthy hops, and some fruity notes.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown-black color, with a small head, and some spotty lacing.
Flavor: The flavor is bready malts, not particularly sweet, nice bitterness as well.
Palate: Light-medium bodied, soft-to-average carbonation, and a lightly dry finish.
Overall Impression: This is a pretty solid one. The Black Rye IPA combination works nicely, though it is more like a pumpernickel rye for my palate. Good hop flavor as well. A tasty brew.

Charred oak and grapefruit nose. Hazy brown, medium tan head. Fresh split wood, maple syrup on the edges, but not sweet. Bitter tree bark finish. Full body, slightly creamy, easy carbonation. Rustic, enjoyable, and well made, but more of an ABA than IDA.

Somewhere in Vermont: pours near black with a beige head. Aroma is peoper and spice with some chocolate and pine. Taste is similarly spicy. Not too bitter. Pine and spice adtertaste. Rye gives good touch.

Bottle shared at a tasting on a yacht at the Herzliya Marina. Dark amber-brown with a beige head. Aroma of lots of chocolate, some roast and a hoppy note. Sweetish flavor, roasty, with chocolate, a spicy rye note, rather mild piney hops and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Nice.

My favorite in the Farmhouse sampler, hands down. Black color with awesome head retention. Aroma is rye malt, burnt grain and a nice pine presence.
Flavor starts with roasted malt and grain, hints of chocolate leading into a earthy pine hop profile. The rye is more noticeable in the aroma. I love the flavor and best amount the sample pack but yet again the body is on the thinner side. Still very drinkable.

Rye kind of takes over the IPA side of this. Kind of drowns out the roast as well. Poignant rye here. Good stuff. Pours black with good head and lacing. Bitter finish. Bottle at Bottle Bar.

Nice floral beginning. Intense rye-malty, dry. The mainpart is intense, lots of floralness together with an viscous dry malty-bitter body. The aftertaste is intense floral, dry-roasted malty and nice intense bitter. Deep floral-roasted. Nice harmonation of the bitter hops and the floral aroma.

Pours black into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving spotted spiders. Smoky dark chocolate and espresso aromas. Thin with dark chocolate and expresso upfront turning to smoky resin in the lasting finish.
