Single sample from a newly discovered bottle shop. Great looking dark amber color with thick copper highlights. A steadfast thick khaki head and tons of lacing, this beer looks great. Aroma of toffee and floral hops, inviting and calm. Filling with a fresh malty body, mellow aftertaste that is lightly bitter. Real tasty flavor, lots of caramel and toffee notes along with some fresh toast and the signature Rogue yeast flavor. Fruity notes from the ample helping of green floral hops. Well hopped for an amber, this is bordering an ESB in style. Real nice offering from a great brewery.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is really nice with lots of fruity and caramel notes and also some raisans. Taste is a bit of a letdown compared to the aroma with some bready and malty notes.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle 0.35 l, 5.6 % 13P. Dark hazy red amber, lacy head. Nose is mainly fresh grapefruit, quite mild. Flavor is grapefruit sour and bitter hoppy. Straightforward hopped ale with not much depth nor complexity.

Jul 19, 2008 12oz red fox amber bottle. Pours an opaquish SRM 17 brown with good tan head. Raisin, plum, and malty aroma. Flavor of light hops and a malty backbone, bready. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Tart finish.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours a nice dark cloudy tan color with modest amount of off-white head. A nice complement of hops and density gives this beer a great flavor index.

Jul 19, 2008 Kinda dry. Not my style, but OK. I prefer the dead guy. Real hoppy. The fact that this is rated higher than dead guy makes me wonder about some of the "connosiours" on here
