3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 18, 2004 C-hops and chocolate aroma...Roasted, bitter chocolate in a quite thin body...Wonderful equilibrium...Still does not beat Fuller’s or Anchor’s in my opinion...
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 9/20
Chocolatey and refreshing, like an iced Starbucks latte! Clean and smooth, slightly bitter aftertaste. Beautiful brown head.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Couldn’t detect the chocolate in the aroma, but it was there in the flavor. Nice, dark, smooth. One of my favorite Rogue’s.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2003 VEry nice porter. Chocolatey smooth flavor. I have no problem drinking a couple of these. I never met a Rogue I didn't like. I am having some right now, probably one of my top 4 beers. Great aftertaste.
4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
I thought this was pretty damn good. nice and roasty but not as pronounced a mocha taste as i woulda liked. very lovely aroma one of the best i’ve smelled with a hint of mocha to it. very full body and nice light head. definately has a creamy finish. i’ll definately pick up more.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 Re-rate next day: I knew that getting a six pack of this was a good idea. First rating: Frankly, I'm amazed that I haven't rated this before. Perfect color, so black I couldn't see the final sediment/yeast shake land in the beer, but I could imagine it. The head sticks around for most of the glass. Chocolate aroma and flavor, on a strongly hopped porter. Also a perfect creamy palate.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 23, 2004 Rerate Pours with a black as night appearance with a mocha (imagine that) colored head, excellent lacing. Aroma of bittersweet chocolate and coffee. Opening flavors of chocolate, coffee and some roasted notes round it off nicely. Trailing Centennial Hops bitterness provide a strong finish. Sits well - good thick moutfeel. Damn good Porter. Original - 3.6 Not as strong of a chocolate flavor as I was looking for.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cascade hops are very strong and prominent throughout this one. Initial roastiness (stronger than many other porters I’ve had) subsides into unbalanced cascade-y bitterness. Nice mouthfeel, but ultimately leaves me unimpressed.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Where’s the mocha? It could be more pronounced. I don’t really care for this porter as I prefer several others over this. It’s heavy on the bitterness. Coffee notes.

nice chocolatey flavor with a little bitterness at the finish.
