look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
22oz bomber poured into an oversized wine glass.
Pours a nearly opaque brown with some reddish/purple highlights. 1/2 inch head retains extremely well and leaves a ton of lace. Carbonation is medium-high. Spicy nose, peppery with a piney/citrussy hop aroma. A bit of malty sweetness and a little bit of earthiness from the rye. Subtle at first but then becomes more complex as it warms.
Taste is Piney bitter with a bit of citrus rind. Peppery with a hint of caraway and even a little plum fruitiness. Some alcohol and a hint of vanilla. very enjoyable. Mouthfeel is creamy smooth but dries nicely and gets sticky in the finish. Very full bodied. Drinkability was hampered a bit by all the alcohol, but it's lovely and bitter and I'm savoring every sip.
