Rogue Dads Little Helper

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Malt Liquor
Newport, Oregon USA

Bomber. Body is transparent gold with quite active carbonation streaming to the top, but in spite of this the head is pretty minimal. Aromas are blank... nothing except some malty sweetness with a metallic edge. Flavor is sharp and abrasive. Compared to other malt liquors this is decent. Compared to beer, it sucks.

Bu au YeHa! 06. Jaune typique, aps de collet. Arome de malte sucré point. Goût de malte très faiblement épicé.

Sweet and corny tasting. syrupy. Not interesting or good. Big disappointment from these guys.

Has a feint malty aroma, very feint, and clean. Pours light blonde, with little head, and champagne like bubbles. Sweet malt up front, with a dry hoppy finish. Not bad.

22 oz bottle purchased the day after Olivia was born to celebrate her birth now that I’m an official father. Pours a golden yellow that is a slight shade lighter on the outer edges. Big bright white frothy head that leaves no lace. Aroma is sweet corn syrup, dusty grains and white grape juice. Flavor is harsh and biting with lots of cereal malts and some white grape juice. Ah, not really something that I’m enjoying but at least I knocked off the malt liquor style.

Light head is slightly disappointing, head disappears totally. Sweet apple like smell and taste with some hops coming in the taste.

Golden color with no head. Aroma is kinda spicy. Flavor is spicy and maybe a little hoppy?

Perfectly clear spotlight yellow. Soft, fading white cap of firm foam. A skimming of bubbles hangs around for most of its time in the glass. Some lacing is distributed along the edge closer to the liquid in rounded patches and sheets. Aroma is nearly non existent as it kinda stymies itself in a hovering pale sweetness of malt grain thats soft and bready and hard to get in the nose unless you wiff in big. Taste is all solid malty smoothness, but not a whole lot of flavor really. Dulled...dulled some more and semi, lightly tanged and cloying malty breadish tones with a heavy buttered corn accent topping off the middle into the finish. Finish is quick but soft and creamy with a malty body and clean Maibock-like cloying sweetness that coats the mouth well. The Harrington malts are quite evident with that certain bready, doughy centeredness of paled, dull tang and soaking. Feel is quite nice. Malt is king of this throne. Ruling with a steady hand of Harrington malt coating ever so smoothly with bready softness and sticky, cloying thickness thats not overbearing but definately pushing its borders with a clean slice of medium body and a fairly long rule of semi sweet, bready, tangaifingly broad scape of malty clean soothingness. I could drink this into oblivion, but would easily get bored of its paled, uninteresting flavor. The body of the beer is great, but beyong that its not much; yet it could be everything to the right person. Leave it to Rogue to make a Malt Liquor that almost makes you wish there were more like it. Dad’s Little Helper could be just that, depending on the Dad of course...
