After a long day, I wanted a beer, and this was one of the four that was sitting in the refrigerator rotation. Big Boss' Sack Time is a rye beer, touting seven varieties of malt in this bad boy. So how did it turn out? Keep reading and see..
The beer was poured into a stemless brandy glass. It has a nice, deep ruby red color. About one finger of light khaki colored head. Light to medium retention, leaving a thin sheet of lacing right at the beer's surface. Aromas of brown sugar, caramel, toast, and rye are detected, as expected.
This is certainly a malt forward beer, hop heads probably won't appreciate. Tastes of toast, rye, brown sugar and malt come right through. The rye brings the pepper and spice in the finish. It's light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation. I actually would find this beer to be quite sessionable and enjoyable to have. A little light hop would be nice, but maybe it wouldn't be indicative of the style. Just a personal preference.
