On tap at the mad Mexican in Robinson. As a father, I have plenty of respect for the name of this brew. There has undoubtedly much thought put into this brew and it is one of the most refined beers I’ve the chance of tastin’. Malt liquor is a vile kenard for this brew. Surprising aroma of apples and berries. Looks like the every day pale yellow american lager beer. Initial flavor is rather astonishing! Wine like, but not syrupy sweet, more like a quality aged wine. Very little detectable bitterness. No carbonation. Fruity yet not exceptionally sweet. At first this brew has an alky impact but that morphs into A more mild watered added wine finish. Hey, I think my taste buds are going numb! An interesting brew that makes me wonder if this is really a beer or not. As a lowly lager lover, this is just not quite the malt liquor style, I’m sorry. If you like wine, give this a try. I am very glad to have had the chance to taste this beer. The waitress was very friendly. She commented that many lager drinkers don’t care for this brew. I am ashamed to name the other malt liquors I’ve tried but let me tell you, this brew is in a class of it’s own and it is in no way associated or similar to those unmentionable unrefined brews. Over all the most enjoyable malt liquor I’ve ever tasted, but that is not saying much. No other malt liquor, that I have rated, has got over a 1.8.

Oct 19, 2009 Bottle at McLoughlin’s, Kyoto. Cloudy amber - white head. Licorice, sweetness, high malty, nice medium hoppy, yeasty, sharpness, light wheaty notes. OK.

Oct 15, 2009 22 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy peach color with a thin head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted grain, corn and burned sugar. Taste is sweet sugary corn with a bit of bitter grassiness. Medium bodied. Damn good for a malt liquor, but still not that great.

Oct 15, 2009 Pours muddy straw into the glass, with a small, active head that reduces to nothing but spotty lace. The nose is of sugary corn. The flavors are of sugar, corn, cereals and sweet country grains. The finish lacks the fusel notes I would’ve expected, but that’s not saying much. A touch of alcohol mixes with some dirty, underdone attempt at a hop balance... it doesn’t work. The biggest reason it doesn’t work is because it’s a malt liquor, and most are cheaply made... even top-shelf ones. Bland, out of balance, over sugared and devoid of complexity and substance, this doesn’t escape the misery, and has honestly gained a few tenths of a point on name brand alone.

Oct 14, 2009 Bomber. Lightly hazy and golden in hue, the body of this beast is crowned with a foamy head of off-white foam. Settling in quickly, it leaves some hard drying bands of lacing to circle the glass. The aroma is sweet, showing notes of candied blonde malt, honey glazed grain, and cream of corn. Deeper inhalation shows a decent amount of spicy, grassy hops, but also brings with it a good amount of searing alcohol. The flavor is ever so slightly more balanced, some of the peppery grass coming forward, yet it remains largely sweet, grainy, and corny. The palate is substantial and nicely carbonated, but is just too darn sticky and alcoholic. I suppose it’s better than 95% of the genre, but that isn’t saying much.

Sep 29, 2009 Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a clear golden color with a modest white head to top it. Aroma has a hay and straw malt note, some clean Noble hops notes. Flavor is very crisp of clean malt notes mostly with some corny notes and light grassy hops at the end. Body was in the moderate range with a pretty lively carbonation rate. Overall the brew hid the alcohol pretty well and was pretty smooth for a malt liquor.

Sep 5, 2009 Rogue Dad’s Little Helper is a sparkling, clear, dense golden lager with a thin white head that leaves excellent lacing. There is light grain and corn in the nose... perhaps black pepper or alcohol. It’s medium bodied and quite smooth. The finish is dry and pretty clean. It’s slightly sweet and boozy tasting. Yeah, it’s malt liquor. It tastes less poisonous than your typical malt liquor. There’s no fusel to be found here. It somehow seems very... Rogue.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle from Bev 4 Less: poured a crystal clear golden color with a miniature serving of head. Aroma is bold and boasts a grainy malt and alcohol scent but much cleaner and adjunct free than any other malt liquor I have consumed. The flavor is a crisp and clean serving of grained malt with background of corn flakes and overall is the most impressing malt liquor style I have tasted even more better then Japanese beers I have had.

Aug 28, 2009 Bomber pours a clear medium gold with ring of big bubble white head. Aroma is perfumy, almost like potpouri. Flavor is sweet corny and a little spicy from the alcohol. Expensive for malt liquor, but pretty good for what it is.
