From the brewer
The base recipe came from Bourbon Murder, a Great American Beer Festival award winning Portland Pub brew. Murder in the Rye is a Strong Stout aged in Rye Whiskey Casks from Oregon Spirit Distillers for 9 months. This malt forward beer offers flavors and aromas of spicy whiskey, vanilla, oak, roast, chocolate and caramel. With less than 24 hours between whiskey emptying and beer filling in the casks, this beer is heart-warming and whiskey-licious!

Dry, thinnish stout with a pretty good rye whiskey flavor. Not as over-wooded as other Deschutes beers, making this go down pretty easy, although over time it did taste progressively more sour and less smooth. Pretty darned good, though.
