Commercial Description:
The recipe comes from Rogue’s Eugene City Brewery and is being produced in Newport for distribution initially in kegs only to JLS accounts. A 750-ml ceramic swing-top bottle will be released in 2008, along with draft. Deep copper chestnut color with toffee, brown sugar, nuts, and spice aromas. A rich supple entry leads to an off-dry medium body of tangy raisins and citrus marmalade, bittersweet chocolate, and mild spice flavors. It finishes with a long nutty, fruity fade. Imperial Red is brewed with Crystal, Chocolate, Munich and two-row Pale Malts; Palisade and Aroma Crystal hops, Pacman Yeast, and Free Range Coastal Waters. Measurements: 20 degrees Plato, 75 IBUs, 77 Appaprant Attentuation, 57 degrees Lovibond, 9% ABV.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A hazy red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of alcohol and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of malt, caramel, fruit, and alcohol, the latter leaving a burn, leading to the dry bitter finish, where the fruity notes carries thru.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Dark amber, small head. Floral toffeeish nose. Medioum bodied with vital, rounded mouthfeel. Lots of caramel, a bit of citrus and a slight general spicyness. Long salty bitterness. A streamlined, vital full sized beer, typical US West Coast style.

Draught, BPP
Dark amber and hazy. Chocolatey, piney aroma - very Rogue. Toasty, chocolatey flavour. Probably too much hop bitterness for its own good, but everything is in a nice, balanced, very Roguey alignment.
