From the brewer

A beer style perhaps lost in antiquity, our rye wine closely resembles an English-style barley wine but with a spicy/peppery note from rye, this beer is dark copper in color with a full body, high residual malty sweetness, high complexity of alcohols and fruity-ester characters balanced by low bitterness and extraordinary alcohol content, some English-variety hop aroma and flavor is present, and caramel, dark toffee and vinous/sherry-like aromas and flavors dominate. Drink it now or let it age.

unknown release
Mellowed-out hop character, reminiscent - maybe - of Southern Tier's Back Burner, with some rye bite at the end. It was pretty good, but that hop juice on the tip of the tongue never quite settled into something I loved.
