Description: 

Summer is over, but cheer up pretty people, it’s time for the newest installment in our Fade to Black Series. This Rye Ale boasts a deep dark brown body with an off white head. This dark brew envelopes your nose with aromas of dark coffee, maple wood and hints of dark agave nectar. The flavor is an intense evolution that starts off with nut bread flowing into molasses followed by a taste of licorice. This lands on spicy rye notes all before being washed away by earthy hop, leaving behind a slight black pepper sensation. So put away the bathing suit, pop a bottle of this black beauty and watch summer fade way. (Description provided by company)

Boldly black with a tan head that didn't quite get as big as a finger, but hung around for a good while. Smells of malt and roasted grain with a hint of licorice. Taste is roast with a mild sourness and spice. While the taste hints at a stout, the thin mouthfeel is an obvious difference from that style.
