Draft at the Rogue Public House in Astoria - Poured very a dark and cloudy amber in color with reddish notes and a medium tan head. Aroma was of piney hops. Flavor was also very hoppy and medium bitter right to the end. This is a really good beer... I hope they start to ship this East soon!

Draught: Very hoppy aroma. Smells floral, with notes of citrus and a bit of soy sauce. Poured dark dark dark ruby in color (almost black), with a medium, rocky, tan head that lasted throughout. Excellent lacing. Sparkling. Flavor is medium bitter, and very complex. Tastes hoppy with notes of pine and resin followed by roasted, toasted, and smoked malt flavors and a hint of soy sauce. Medium to full body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Dry, complex, malt finish. Overall, interesting and quite tasty.

Side trip to Rogue Ales in Newport, Oregon during ABA Beer Tour ’07. On draught at the brewery’s tap room (second level). Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves to a few bubbles. Aroma is of thick pine forest, citrus zest and some caramel malt. The hop infusion was over-powering in the aroma. Taste is light carbonated, medium to full bodied with more citrus and smoked pine flavors. Finish is very dry and more pine aftertaste. This could be considered a new beer catagory. Dark Double IPA?

Draught at Popeyes. Pours dark with minimal head. Aroma of citrus hops and pine, very pleasent. Tasty hop flavor with pine stronger than the citrus, though it’s still there. Finishes pretty bitter. Very good ale, suprisingly delicious.

A deep brown color with a thin head. The aroma was filled with several spices. Liked the hop flavors and the dark malts used where very good this was a great beer for the night. To you Brewer.

Nice malty wort aroma. Brian from Stone/Holiday said the smell was funky and off, but I loved it. Taste was good, but a little mild.

On tap at thr Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Pours reddish purple in color with a huge yellow umber head. Smells like a barleywine. The head is concrete. Has a tart flavor. Finishes medicinal and quickly bitter. Very long sourness at the end blends to a trite bitterness.
