JuleBryg-Style Dark Rye Ale
Winter ale
2013 Edition / Retired
Bottle dated 9-2013
The date on the bottle is very hard to find
Can be aged two years – well let’s find out if it matured
properly.
Appearance: leave the sediment on the bottom of the bottle; very
dark cola body with a one finger tan head
Aroma: light rye spice; toasted caramel; sweet rich grains;
Flavors: nice dose of rye; dark toasted malts; little nutty;
dusty brown spice; sweet burnt sugar on the back;
Mouthfeel: rich dark malts; rye spice on the front and mid;
sweet burnt sugar on the back; a muddled aftertaste of all the flavors; sweetness
dominates;
To the Point: I have never had this beer before to see how
it has aged but, the beer still tastes very good; I wonder if the spiciness of
the rye has settled; I do like this style but for me this is a one glass and
done type beer; with some dopplebocks and dubbel ales I am the same way – where
I like them but all I can do is drink just one; the rich style and the
sweetness gets to be too much for me
