Rhythm of the Night (Batch 1) from River Roost Brewery
7 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Black. Brown and red edged. Small thin line head. Smells like vanilla bean, Oreo cookies and whiskey with fire and smoke. Very thin up front. Dense carbonation and oily finish. Had a home brew like quality but a solid flavor. Re-rate a few months later (July last time in October). Not doing well in my opinion. Getting wetter, still oily, carbonation unchanged.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
32 ounce growler thanks to Adam and Heather. Aroma shows a mild grass, light pine, pale grains. Flavor follows. I liked the pale ale we had directly before this a bit better.
