Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Oct 23, 2008A great solid brew. Very full beer, poured with minimal head. Quite clear. Nice malty start and a moderate bitter finish. Good for a few

Oct 21, 2008 A classic. Pours a deep amber with a large fluffy head that lasts for a long time. This is probably the closest drink to pure melted butter. It is so smooth and creamy. Lots of malt, caramel, butter, and a hint of piney hops. Ends with a smack of hops. What an awesome, thick, filling, and satisfying beer. Rogue’s most consistently awesome brew.

Oct 21, 2008 Updated: Oct 30, 2008Poors deep amber with a light off white head that lasts surprisingly long. Malty, with a little toffee sweetness, and light dried fruit flavors and then piney hops. Pretty heavy drink, but still went down smooth. Sweet bitter finish. Not bad.

Oct 20, 2008 Pours amber with a 2 finger chunky head that fades sloly and leaves good lacing. Aroma is grainy, and caramel malts, some buttered toast, and a woody note like fresh cut pine. Hops are planty and herbal. Flavor is lots of malty notes at once right away: cereal, caramel, toasted white bread, toffee. Hops come in toward the middle with some grassy/herbal notes and then hit you like a ton-o-bricks with a dandelion green bitter, and lingering toffee malt finish. Mouthfeel is thin to medium and somewhat astringent. Overall this is a great beer I love the transition from rich buttery malts to pucker-up hops, its like a 1-2 punch.

Oct 19, 2008 Growler. Thick head and amber color. Smells of grains and caramel. The taste is heavy malt and a nice balance bitter finish. I was surprised by this. I guess I was expecting something more mainstream like a pale... I was pleasantly rewarded with a complex ale. This is good.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle. Amber coloured with a small off white head. The aroma is grain, caramel and hops. Flavour of sweet malt, toffee, smoke, licorice and bitter hops. Went down very well..

Oct 16, 2008 Nice. Dark malts great head and retention. Very dark roasted malt character for the catigory of the brew itself. I would say for being rogues flagship its very good.
