We are huge fans of rye here at Central Waters, using rye barrels and rye malts are some of our favorite things! In this beer, we paired the smooth sweetness of vanilla with the spicy dry notes of rye, a match made in heaven for our famous barrel aged stout.

This beer is aged for a full year in rye barrels, imparting those delectable flavors and aromas, then combined with vanilla to enhance the wood notes and create a smooth, well rounded barrel aged stout.

Black with a large foamy brown head. Strong whiskey, cocoa, vanilla, roasty malt and coffee. Exceptionally long boozy finish. Full bodied. Booziness distracts.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 28 Aug 2022) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, dark bread and a touch of mint. Malty, roasted, sweetish taste with dark chocolate, vanilla, black rye bread, mint and a balanced roasty bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Really rich and tasty with a balanced vanilla touch and a good, spicy rye presence. Well rounded and well balanced. Really good beer.
