Tormund’s Finest Ale Tasting and Review – An Irish Red Rye

Brewing with rye and roasted barley was a gamble. I had never brewed with either grain till now. It was a gamble that paid off. The roasted barley added a pleasant smoky/toasted aroma and flavor. Adding the rye provided a slight fruity flavor that is a compliment to the malty backbone.

I liked this one enough that it is going to make it in to the regular rotation.
