MmmcKay (269), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Aug 26, 2009 Pours clear yellow. Sweet, thick malts. Nose of nothing. Not bad per se. But not good either. Cheapest Rogue beer I’ve ever seen....and its high gravity. Interesting experience, but one I’d rather not have again.

BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA Aug 17, 2009 22oz brown bottle obtained at McKinnon’s in Salem. Pours a crystal-clear yellow body with virtually no head to speak of. Smell is anything but strong, but hints at cooked corn, grain, and a small bit of alcohol. Actually tastes good - baker’s cocoa and caramel take their place with husky grain, cooked corn, and just a hint of the alcohol. Light bodied as expected, with moderate to full carbonation. All-in-all, not a bad beer. Not something I’d get all the time, but for the style, it’s definitely one of the better ones (though not quite as good as DFH Liquor de Malt IMO) - reminds me of a tastier better-made version of Steel Reserve. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Aug 8, 2009 Sweet and corny tasting. syrupy. Not interesting or good. Big disappointment from these guys. KnN (715), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Aug 8, 2009 Pours dark yellow and kind of thick. Aroma is sweet corn, a bit of apple, some subtle hop notes. Flavor is really sweet, a bit heavy on the corn, and has a base that tastes almost like a lager on steroids. Not my favorite beer, but certainly not undrinkable. alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Aug 4, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white head. The aroma has a moderate level of sweetness, some fruits, a little corn, hints of alcohol, and caramel malt. The flavor is sweet with caramel, fruit, vanilla and alcohol prevailing. This was better than I expected, but still only worth having once. l1br4r14n (274), Washington, Washington DC, USA Jul 25, 2009 A decent malt liqour if there ever was one. Flavors of sweet corn and hops. Not bad.
