Jul 22, 2009 Had on tap, poured a red/brown with a thick tan head. Flavor was a little fruity, like a barleywine, and also had some chocolate, carame; and barely any hops.

Jul 14, 2009 Tap at Rogue Public in SF. Pours a reddish amber with a thick creamy head. Candy like caramel aroma. Thick malty sweet taste with a big bitter finish. I just couldn’t get any of the subtle flavors in this, too sweet.

Jul 11, 2009 750 mL swing-top bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a medium frothy light tan head that diminishes quickly leaving behind decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a fruity malt with raisin and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a rich malt with brown sugar and raisin with a nice hoppy finish. More like a barleywine than american strong ale but still very good hiding the alcohol well.

Jul 10, 2009 Well, this seems to be just another container filled with lots of hops an malts with no real direction.
Poured out a nice tan head on the bubbly side, solid very dark amber color prior to sediment dump, ok messy lacing. The aroma is of a generic west coast brew: thick malts of brown sugar, caramel, bread, syrupy citrus hops. This beer could be ANY beer. This whole thing comes across as a weak barley wine. Taste is generic with lots of bread, brown sugar, some caramel, spice and possibly chocolate which is interesting for sure! More than medium bodied, does not come across too thick or syrupy, leaves a decent bitterness. Wow. Is this a generic review or what? Still, it was a very drinkable beer. Save your hard earned money unless you are a review whore. Took me two hours to review this... I’m drunk - thank god for spell check.

Jun 15, 2009 Red-amber.
Long, beige head.
Aroma: Caramel, malt, fruit.
Flavor: Same with alcahol burn going into the finish.
Even the finish has notes of fruit and caramel. This is not a typical Rogue as it isn’t as strong in the hop department. Still, it’s well worth trying out.

Jun 13, 2009 Bottle, Mondiale 09. Very dark brown, small white head. Malty aroma, some alcohol. Strong hoppy malty taste. I did not care for this balance at all. Just a plain strong ale that did nothing for me - and it was judged one of the 10 best of the fest?? Odd.
