 ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA
Dec 11, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours very dark reddish brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of bitter chocolate and coffee. Tastes of the aroma with bread and a slight fruitiness. A medium body that is smooth and creamy. A good beer with the flavors of a porter or stout without the heaviness.

Dec 7, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a brown body with a small, creamy tan head. Dissipates quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and nutty. Hints of berry fruit backing and herbal spices. Taste is similar and actually better than I was expecting, but still a little dull. Roasty, sweet caramel maltiness, and toffee up front with a slightly berry chocolate finish. Medium to full bodied with a nice balance. Overall, I think this beer is pretty good. Not loaded with taste or complexity, but very drinkable and enjoyable.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours dark brown with slight tan head. Nice smoky malt characters in the aroma, very drinkable, but a little bit too thin for my taste. For a darker beer of this kind I would like a bit more substance. Good balance though, worth a try. A kind of Porter-Lite flavor in my opinion.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice, dark red-brown and has a decent tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, fruit, smoke and is slightly sweet. Aroma is much the same. Has a nice aftertaste, but feels kind of watery. Overall, a very enjoyable brew that is satisfying and worth purchasing again.

Nov 28, 2008 2008 Bottle. A nice American version of the more potent, more complex Belgian ale. Dark, sweet aroma, accompanied with a sweet nutty flavor. Seemed watery--probably just because of the lower alcohol content than its Belgian cousins. Not a bad brew.

RedSox2004 (353), Pacific Palisades, California, USA
Nov 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours deep blood red/dark brown with a one-finger head that dissipates quickly to a thin ring. Minimal lacing. Strong roasted, almost burnt, coffee aromas dominate, supported by bicuity malts and toffee. Taste is similar: complex smoky, sweet malts with coffee, toffee and little in terms of offsetting hops bitterness. Smooth, slightly thin mouthfeel, with a clean, dry aftertaste.
