Belgian Rye Stout....

Hey all,

So we thought up this new addition to our stout rotation.  The Belgian Rye Stout.  I cut back on the roasted malts because i knew that the Rye spice flavor would come off as a similar flavor and i didn't want to make it overly acrid.  Also took the opportunity to add a bit more Brown and Chocolate malts to really give the back end of this beer a little love.  I think it is a great tasting beer where the Belgian yeast and the rye spice hit your first with the lingering coffee/chocolate flavor left in your mouth that you would expect in a stout.  Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Tyler
