| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Deep dark amber-red beer with a creamy tan head. The aroma is lightly malty and sweet with a nice rich chewy amber malt character along with some rich cherry/fruity sweetness. There is a softly bready/malty character. Sticky and sweet, but without being overly malty. Lots of sweet piny/fruity hops. Quite sticky with a sweet chewy mouthfeel, red currant, berries and a light piny flavour on the back. A kiss of mint along with a light resinousness. Decent balance though. The best Rogue beer I’ve had in awhile. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Bottle... Hazy orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Decent retention. Gobs of caramel waft up from the glass and meld nicely with citrusy and piney hop notes. Full-bodied and fatty with dancing carbonation. Huge caramel malt backbone with additional flavors of dates and other dark fruits. Hopped up nicely enough to barely favor the bitter side of balance. The finish is malty up front, and then bitter and dry. Papsoe (14904), Frederiksberg, Denmark
