Rogue Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Sweet Stout
Newport, Oregon USA

22 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was opaque with about 2 fingers of dark foamy head. Slow head dissipation and fantastic lacing are present on this one. Nose is a delicious, creamy milk chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is roasted malts and dark chocolate with a lingering bitter sweet for the finish. I thought this one would be better. The aroma was my favorite part.

poured dark with a thick foamy head. strong bitter chocolate aroma with hints of malts and sugar. thick on the palate with a bitter chocolate aftertaste that lingered on and finished smooth. it was heavy on the stomach and would of paired nicely with chocoalte ice cream believe it or not. not a bad brew at all.

Big old bomber courtesy of Cavie which I deftly poured into a big tulip glass. This chocolate lover is black, but not so black that it doesn’t shimmer and sparkle when held up to the light. This blackness sits underneath some of the best head I’ve ever gotten - big, thick, and brown. The aroma of this puppy has chocolate love written all over it - sweet milk chocolate oozing all over a thick back-end of roasted malt. The flavor erupts in my mouth with a sour and chocolate explosion of flavor that finishes hard and dry, leaving me panting and asking for more. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy but rough and demanding, making me go back for more and more. Oooh baby, this is some good stuff.

Bottle. Pours black, with a thin dark tan head, no real lacing to speak of. Nose is intense chocolate, mild undercurrents of hops, some roast, but the sweet milk chocolate runs the nose on this beer. Palate is surprisingly bitter, considering the nose, hops come through well, and with time I imagine they would drop out, nice mouthfeel, very chocolaty, some coffee and smoke, very smooth, but never feels thin or light. Nice stout. I can’t wait to get some botle age on this one, could be amazing with dessert!

Nice chocolatey cocoa on the nose, with a bitter and chocolate taste. Well rounded, the chocolate doesn’t overpower the stout, although it is very noticeable. Slightly over-carbonated in my opinion.

Dark pour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted with elements of dark chocolate, smoke, ad coffee. Flavor is of semi-sweet extra dark chocolate with a touch of coffee toffee. In the middle, there is a brief moment of a mouth dry feeling due to the dark chocolate -- like tasting a Lindt bar --, a good palate accomplishment. Finish is completely of dark chocolate. Smooth with a good balance of chocolate bitterness and sweetness.

Very excited to try this beer and it didn’t disappoint. Black thick pour with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, smoke, coffee. Chocolate flavor with some coffee and it is very smooth

࿡cl bottle) Coal-black coloured hue with a thick and firm beige foamy head. Sweet and distinctively chocolatey aroma with notes of cacao powder and lighter roast-malty accents in the background. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation Roast-malty chocolate-like taste; sweet and slightly burnt bitter, quite flavourful and lasting finish with chocolate in the aftertaste. A bit one-dimensional brew but in a superb way ྐྵ.VIII.09).
