Sep 23, 2009 On tap at Rogue pub location. It’s dead guy on steroids, obviously. Pours a little redder, smells oakier and the taste of the alcohol nearly overwhelms. if that’s what you’re going for, well, DDG is great at it.

Sep 20, 2009 On tap at Portland Intl airport.
Appearance:
Aroma: port-like, dried fruit--prunes, raisons, possibly mango-- intense deep roasted malt
Flavor: Similar to the aromas. Restrained hops may slightly reign in the huge malt flavors--roasted caramel malt, prune, ripe orange notes, roasted milk chocolate.
Comments: Very very big with complex aromas and malt flavors that evolve in the glass. A few sips can go a long way, and gave me a very pleasant, mellow buzz to end my session. This just can’t be compared to a standard beer; better to think of a young, ageable port. The complexity and changing flavors reminded me of the one (and probably only) time that I got to try Sam Adam’s Utopia. It helps to sip and enjoy this slowly over 30 to 60 minutes and all will be right with the world.

Sep 13, 2009 Draught at Rogue Ales and Public House, Portland.
Pretty amber color. Fruity aroma with orange and caramel. Big alcohol, big hops. Candied cherry sweetness. Slightly too alcoholic and harsh; only vaguely reminiscent of its far superior little brother.

Sep 12, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy dark orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty. The mouth feel was very tingly at the start and at the finish. The strong flavor contained notes of malt hops and caramel. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Sep 11, 2009 750 ml bottle. Dark copper color with a thick long lasting white head. Faint aroma of molasses and cinnamon. Very malty taste, strong brown sugar component. Fairly well balanced with hops, but hops are not dominant. Bittersweet finish.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy copper amber with a small frothy off white head that diminishes quickly with decent lacing along the glass. The aroma is a spicy caramel with cascade hops. Medium mouthfeel with a caramel malt taste with brown sugar and a spicy finish. Hides the alcohol well making it easy to drink. A very good American strong ale from Rogue.
