pj1855 (154), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jul 6, 2008 Slighty hazy golden color. Off white head that mosty diminishes. Not much of an aroma present. Thin mouth feel with a taste of alcohol in the finish. Just didn’t do it for me. Shaftie (18), , Florida, USA Jul 6, 2008 Imbided a 22oz from Total wine last evening. Had it before and while it is a decent bock Rogue’s done better. Colored like a dark lager, with a respectable albeit a bit thin head. Outstanding marketing on this product though, the label and title really catch the eye. Maltybones (60), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Thank you LCBO! Appearance is orangy-amber with medium carbonation and a thick cream coloured head. Aroma is awesome.....malty carmels, licorice, floral hops, citrus and fresh garden herbs. In terms of flavour, everything gets better as this beer warms.....buiscutty malts, carmel, ripe fruits and a little alcohol followed by a mean hop kick. Mouthful is creamy, but just a tad thin. Overall an excellent beer. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jul 5, 2008 Pours a honey color, with a thin white head.Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor is slightly sweet and mildly bitter. Finishes smooth Very good. ysusi (10), Mexico, Mexico Jul 5, 2008 Dark honey-orange colored. A bit cloudy. Small but nice foamy head. Aromas reminded me of lemon caramels every single time I smelled it ’till the end. Strong. Tastes are those of caramel, malt and a bit resiny from the hops. Good medium body. Liked it. uhclem (188), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy honey with a negligible head and lacing. Nose is very light. Whiffs of grass and citrus. On tasting, malt announces itself with a flourish, then blends in nicely with hops and pine flavors. Mouthfeel is light but with a good structure, and finish is crisp, smooth and lasting. NewBelgium5 (61), , Pennsylvania, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours a darker almost red color. Not much head. Very pleasant sweet malt aroma. Caramel and malt flavor with a honey aftertaste, light-medium body. CCCP (16), , British Columbia, Canada Jul 1, 2008 I have enjoyed this beer in the bottle for years and only occasionally on draft when I found my way down south. Now it is on tap in Vancouver at the alibi and it’s certainly the star of the show. Red and sweet and malty - maybe not a session beer but one I’ll be having a lot of until the keg runs out. Brilliant.
