Simple, no-mash recipe for an easy Brew day. Combine the crispness of kolsch with the spice of rye for a beer that's complex, yet crushable. Deep flavor with a light body.
Everyone seems to get a different taste from this beer. It's been described as a banana walnut muffin, a spicy brown ale, chocolatey, licoricey, smooth, crisp, slightly sweet, and completely delicious. It's a good one, and super simple to make.
Only a week after bottling, and it's already very pleasant. No head yet, but nicely carbonated. Smells of bananas, black licorice, and chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, then brown bread, then banana. And now all I can think about is black licorice.
