So, I brewed a red rye a few weeks ago. It's the first time I've brewed with rye, so I don't know if a huge mouth feel is to be expected, but I haven't felt this in other rye beers I've tried. It's also my first time using Old Sonoma yeast, but I can't imagine that strain would cause this.
By huge, I mean HUGE. It has the mouth feel of table cream, or maybe thick tomato juice. It tastes great, a bit cloudy. Not anywhere near refreshing.

I mashed at 152. Hit my OG. Kegged at 1.012, 30 psi for 5 days, so not quite fully carbed yet. I really like this beer, but would rather it not be so thick.
