I submitted my Oktoberfest Cherrywood Smoked Rye Caraway beer to the Sam Adams Longshot for 2010. Got the scores back a few weeks ago. This one took a 38.5. The judges said they tasted the smoke and rye and liked the combo. They mentioned they could not taste the caraway seed. So I didn't use enough to get any noticable flavor. Just wanted to update on my prior post.
