Bottle from Nate.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a white rocky foamy head. Took forever to dissipate. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had a sweet floral to herbal earthy malty flow to the hops which were slightly citrusy, woody and piney.
The flavor yielded to the sweet side embracing all of the same tones of the aroma. Some caramel malts meld fine into the beer. Aftertaste was the blend of the malts to the floral/earthy portions. Finish was long and malty.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, seemed alright for the most part, but I was hoping for more \"rye.\" I missed that memo of these guys not putting it in this beer. How about I start a riot at this brewery for rye to be put in the beer?

12oz bottle poured into a smaller La Trappe chalice. A very black color, definitely a lot of dark malts. Small brown head, despite being small its long lasting and strong. Aroma is chocolate covered espresso bean with a moderate bitter malt bite. Smells much better than I anticipated and I am generally not a fan of coffee beers. The aroma is a balance of moderate espresso and chocolate malt that helps offset the bitter malt. Unfortunately, the abundance of black malts adds a thinning acidity to the flavor. It makes it a lighter beer but its syrupy black malts, acidity, and bitterness with some light fumy sweetness. Filtered clean bottom of the bottle. I like the aroma and I am happy its not a big bad impy but just too much acidity and bitter black malts. It can definitely lighten up that load.
