Slightly hazy dark amber coloured body with a super-thin off-white head. Aroma of mild malt, raisins, mild sugars and little else. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent maltiness with tons of cardboard and funky metallic flavours. Aftertaste shows bad qualities-nothing good at all in this one. Overall, a bad beer-maybe one of the worst Sary beers - and that is VERY bad! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from the Christmas twelve pack purchased at Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 09-January-2005.

Pretty auburn color with a large off-white head. Smells bready. A very drinkable beer with caramel malts and a breadiness... thin, and nothing spectacular.

2004 bottle. Hmm. Well, it looks like they felt they could just put some malt in this, and add some rye and call it a rye bock. This is a joke of a bock. No bockiness to this, no bittersweet notes, no sour yeast, no big caramel or toffee or chocolate notes. It’s just a mildly sweet basic brown malt with rye in it. Again, it’s not bad, just has no style to it, and leads a very unspectacular existence. Dryness from the rye. Rye and light caramel in the nose, with a dark amber-reddish color. The color may be the best thing about this beer, but it’s nothing great either. I think if you take away the novelty of using rye, this beer is very poor.

Another beer obtained via the holiday sample pack. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty with a vague bitterness underlying. The flavor was bitter, malty, a tad grainy and had a light hop element. The finish was bitter and had a roasted malt element. A nice drinkable beer but not one I would seek out.

Very attractive brightish red color, light pitted head. Crisp, toasty aroma. Palate seems to be missing alot though. Empty with hops showing at the end. The rye lightens the palate perhaps a bit too much. In the end begins to show some malt character.
