Thanks Vance for the growler share.
Poured into a lager glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color; finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark earthiness, dark malts, dark bread and toast, light coffee grounds
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together fairly toasty with a mild roastiness; subtle aftertaste of coffee and dark bread
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some roasty character abrasion; finishes roasty, earthy and dark malty
Overall: decent enough dark lager I believe I could come back to.

Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted dark malts, coffee tones, earthiness, slight nuttiness; subtle tart character (hmmmmm....odd but alright, moving on); touch of coconut down in there, sly dark chocolate
Flavor: semi-sweet to roasty chocolatey to coconutty sweetness, then the tart thing again, hmmmmm....then sly aftertaste of toast and dark malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; finish is odd - seems somewhat coconutty with tart brashness
Overall: was the "tart" qualities intentional here? Hmmmm....I'm not exactly feeling good vibes with this one.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: beautiful bronzed orange color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light spotty lace
Aroma: bright citrusy hops, subtle sweet grassy notes; then the spicy form of the rye parts; some mild sweetness from them but then a lighter tone of some biscuity malts
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together fairly bright and bittersweet; mild rye aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along my tongue; finishes crisp and light spicy tones from the rye
Overall: pretty good Rye IPA but I was hoping the "floral" part of the rye in the aroma and flavor would have shown up. Well, I believe I would still come back to this.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-dirty/cloudy yellow color with an ever so slight transparency trying to occur; two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely leaving some spotty lace
Aroma: bready malts with some floral to grassy hops
Flavor: moderately blends the malts to the floral sweet tones of the hops; no aftertaste
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, semi-smooth yet oily to my tongue; finishes somewhat crisp and oily
Overall: must an Italian pilsener just as I suspected, not bad for what it is, and I believe I could have again.

Can into a nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a quickly dissipating eggshell white foamy head, subtle concave lace
Aroma: dark bread, nuts, caramel/toffee maltiness, dark toast, some grains
Flavor: moderately sweet and semi-roasty, mild aftertaste of the dark toast and nuts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; almost watery but saves itself by some doughy to bready character dropping some blocking vibes; finishes nutty and semi-bready
Overall: I believe there's something good here or supposed to be here; however, I do believe some work needs to be done to make this one a better brown ale.

16oz can pours a clear rootbeer brown with a finger of off white head. Nose has malt and sweet tea and toast, sweet dough. Flavor is malt and nuts and brown sugar and toffee. Finishes medium bodied and dry. Straight up. Easy drinker and well made.
