Hop-A-Potamus is a double dark rye pale ale made with a ton of pale and six kinds of rye malt for a "full" body. This double dark rye pale ale is fiercely hopped with a Northwest blend for a stampede of flavor and aroma. Beware: Hop-A-Potamus will charge if provoked! Hop-A-Potamus is not for the foolish or the faint of heart.

    Can. Dark brown body yellowish khaki head. The nose is toffee with fruit. Taste of sweet dough and almonds. There is also a hint of the rye and some bits of roasted coffee. Notes of rye throughout. A little thick and sticky in the mouth. Decent.

    Lots of rye in the nose with a good dose of hops, the taste of the hops is an astringent face sucking burn, not bad at all, just no citrus in this one at all. Great big body to a beautiful amber brown beer with a thick creamy head. Nice change of pace from West coast styles and not nearly as boring as most mid-west styles.
