Hello....has anyone done this yet ? devil went down to oregon imperial dark rye
 
Never heard of it, thanks for posting. According to Nikasi’s website, it’s a west coast roggenbier that’s also an imperial dark rye beer. So start with a roggenbier recipe, bump up the ABV to 7.2% use the hops they use an an alt bier yeast. https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-roggenbier/

Ninkasi Brewing Co. - The Devil Went Down to Oregon
Style: Imperial Dark Rye
ABV: 7.20% IBU: 65.0

It might be a sin, but take the bet and you won’t regret this beer from start to end! In a collaboration spanning Oregon’s bountiful Willamette Valley to Virginia’s heartland, Steve Crandall and Jason Oliver of Devils Backbone Brewing took the bet and gave the Devil his due when our founding brewer, Jamie Floyd, came ‘a-calling. What the trio first described as “a sort of West Coast, German-Style Roggenbier” turned into an Imperial Dark Rye, offering an elevated alcohol percentage and a crisp, lager-like finish from the Alt yeast fermentation. Give the Devil his due!

Made an experimental “RoggenBock” pitched onto a cake of S-189. The “randomness” of the grain bill stems from the fact I was trying to use up what I had lying around. Turned out to quite the happy accident though. I think it would be fantastic with a German Ale yeast. Great fall sipper. A little heavier than I prefer but I’m happy with it!
