Hop Rod Rye
A - brown/burnt orange color w/ a velvet-like tan head. S - i can't stop smelling this one! huge nose on this bad boy, lots of spicy/citrus hops and a carmalized candy-like sweetness. some alcohol comes through, but the spice carries the torch T - lemon/citrus hops up to the plate 1st, only briefly though. the spice and the rye really ppull through over the huge malty, almost smoked backround, w/ a very bitter finish. this is damn near perfection people. the flavor lingers for a second leaving you wanting more MF - low carbonation, massive full body and a smooth, creamy and slightly cloying feel. D - the amazing taste makes you want to take sip after sip(not chugging friendly) i had 22oz. and could do another one easily. respect the 8% though.
