Pours deep copper brown with tan head. The aroma is buttered nuttiness and biscuit malt and thankfully no messy funky organic malt twang. The taste has tasty nuttiness to go along with crystal malts running in the background and followed by a sense of buttered bread. Tasty brew with plenty of flavor.

Pours deep copper to amber with thin off white head. In the aroma I get crystal malts, faint hops and that off smelling organic malt twang. The taste is much nicer than the nose with roasty malts, crystal malts and an assertive hoppiness for the style. Full flavored roasted up amber. Aside from the sort of off aroma this was pretty tasty.

Hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma has a little bready malt and weak citrus hops. Dry, citrus hoppy flavour, and quite bitter, not quite what the weak aroma promised.

Draft at Parkside Restaurant. Clear light to medium brown body with a spare off-white head. Nice aroma of cooke, toasted malts and nuts. Hints of flowers in the background. Also some hints of sweet brown sugar. The flavor was lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic and lightly bitter. The finish was moderately bitter. Medium body with a thin texture and lively carbonation. Comfortable and uneventful.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a large white head that lingers. The aroma was bitter fruity hops. The flavor was dry, bitter and buttery with a long buttery finish. Not good.

On tap at Piper’s Pub, nice place. Mildly sweet aroma. Looks like very light iced tea and this is surprising cause I thought it would be nearly black considering the name. Big foamy head that does not fade. Slight maple taste with a little bitterness. Finish is mildly bitter and palatable but the bitterness on the back of the palate builds with each sip. Not bad for a specialty grain brew. Can’t hold a candle to John Harvards Rye Weiss but IMHO much much better than Founders Black Rye.
