Draft @ BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. Aroma shows mild rye, nice grain character.

Grain base is light and refreshing with rye being subtle. Hops are hardly noticeable in the finish. Mouthfeel was on the lighter side of medium, moderate carbonation. Pretty easy drinking and very much the brewers intent. Clean

Draft @ BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. Aroma is yeasty, slightly funky, dusty basement.

The flavor shows the dusty basement, light off fruit. Brett. The hops profile helps keep the funk mild. Very balanced and subtle. Mouthfeel was medium with strong yeast presence. Pretty good brew.

Draft @ BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. Pitch black color, aroma is deep roasted grain, chocolate, barley.

Mouthfeel leans on the stout side. Real nicely executed porter, deep layers of roast. Chocolate, earthy, Texture has some grain. Rich lingering grain after the swallow. Flavor is delightful and after so many Belgian’s it was a nice change of pace at BCTC.

Thought this was a pretty solid one. There's a good roast to the flavor and feel. Solid hop presence as well. I didn't get a ton of brett, but it is there. Nice stuff.

Has some rye flavor, almost a session rye-pa. Nice idea. I thought the flavors here worked pretty nicely, though it feels just a touch thin, it is still quite solid.
