Our co-founder Adam describes this beer as a liquified rolo. Three Ryes Men is a barleywine brewed with multiple types of rye and aged in whiskey barrels, featuring a full body with malt driven caramel and chocolate notes, and layers of warming complexity. Three Ryes Men won the bronze medal for barleywine at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival.

Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, dark hazy liquid, beige head.
A- Rye, caramel, malt, subtle oak barrel.
F- Toffee, rye, malt, faint whisky, light fudge.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- I definitely don't get the prescribed "liquid rolos" here. This had loads of toffee with as expected a lot of rye spice. The barrel influence is there but honestly quite light all things considered. My first Reuben beer and I was happy with it but certainly not wowed. Missing some complexity for me.

Dullish pale brown. Aroma is chewy. Lots of rye and that’s the palate, too. It’s okay, the rye is good but the base comes across like a lot of Reubens base, simplistic.

Waxed capped bomber - 2024 edition - from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head that attempted a Guinness. Aroma of rye and malt. Full bodied. Somewhat sweet/malty and heat/rye for bitterness. Effect of a good Winter Warmer. Excellent flavor.

Aromas are dark malt, maybe some wheat and light paper. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, sweet upfront and a little more bitter in the finish but still sweet. Add in some caramel and a hint of fudge. Some alcohol warmth in the finish. Very smooth. 2023.

Waxed, capped bomber from Tavour. Pours clear, but very dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of bourbon, rye spice and dark toffeeish malt. Full bodied. Flavor is bourbon, rye spice, heat with dark caramel support. Not dry. Heat seems to replace bitter. Very nice drink.

My 7,300th rating. 500 ml waxed and capped bottle. 2022 vintage. 13.7% ABV. Nearly opaque dark brown pour. Creamy finger-high beige head settles to a bubbly ring. Earthy, roasty malt aroma hints at oak and bourbon. Robust and bittersweet upfront. Black currants, vanilla, red wine tannins, cocoa, rye spice, toffee, figs, whiskey and wood. Wonderfully complex and incredibly smooth.

Bottle pours out amber topped with a small head. Nose is nice sweet caramel malts bourbon barrel presents some pitfruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts caramel toffee bourbon vanilla.
