Old Overholt 11 Year Straight Rye

Pours your standard coppery orange color. Smells great, lots of the spice box, a very nice earthy note, and some oaky brown sugar. Taste follows the nose, plenty of spice, the earthy character emerges more here, maybe a hint of maple and brown sugar, but it finishes a bit bitter (this is a good thing!) mouthfeel is medium bodied, not too boozy to this baby beer nerd palate, pretty easy going. Overall pretty great stuff! Beer Nerd Musings: I’m not aware of any Old Overholt barrel aged beers (and a brief search yields no results), but I think these 11 year old barrels would be fantastic on a stout or maybe even a barleywine…

Nice leathery surprise in the finish

Mellow with lots going on - spicy, sweet

Nose is brown sugar, and smokey grains, with a fruity finish. A little spice, with mild corn, and heavy cherry taste. Bittersweet and dark cherry finish... Lasts a few minutes.
