Clean hoppy aroma. Crisp flavor bite that comes in with a nice malt taste. Followed by hints of the rye sweetness but matched with a hop bite that keeps it from being too sweet. Fairly clean finish. Full flavored, but doesn’t come across as 8%, so it could be deceptive.
Slightly fruity strawberry aroma plus dark malt. Flavor is strong with dark malt but a hint of strawberry in the background and leaves you with a creamy/foamy mouthfeel at the end. Interesting, but maybe a little too sweet at the end.
Slight sweet aroma. Full on dark malt flavor, like a stout. Finish is mostly malt with a lingering dark malt presence. Also a moderate hop presence lingering in the far background. Not as sweet as most browns I’ve had.
