Bell's Rye Stout (bottle)
Comstock, MI
6.7% ABV
Appearance: Dark black color, slight reddish hue at the bottom, moderately-sized brown head that sticks around. Head is rich and creamy. Nice presentation. 4.0/5
Smell: Smells almost like a nitro stout. Dry malty aromatics, slight notes of chocolate. 3.5/5
Taste: Nice rye flavor up front with a significant chocolate malt presence on the backend. Slightly astringent finish, dry aftertaste. A bit cloying. 3.5/5
Mouthfeel: Moderate thickness, slightly chewy. 4.0/5
Drinkability: A rye stout is an interesting concept, and this is good, but it's not quite up to the standards of most Bell's beer. Definitely worth a try for fans of Bell's or those who love rye, but a bit lacking for my palate. 4.0/5
Overall: 3.7/5
