This might be a dumb question, but will this taste like rye bread or does rye malt produce it's own unique taste? I tried the Blue Point Rastafar Rye and it didn't taste very very much like rye or maybe my palette isn't refined enough to pick it out. Is there a commercial brand you could compare this to?
