Mar 19, 2009 It took some time for me to come around on this beer. It really does change quite significantly as it warms. My first thoughts was that this was just an undefined hoppy beer (just bitterness without any flavor). But the sweet malts finally poked it’s head out and decided to assert itself after awhile, and thankfully so. Still, I felt a little let down by the beer. Sure there was the hops, and the malt but so little character. It was drinkable, but I think Rogue can do better. At least I’d like to think they could do better. Not a stinker, but not their best either.

Feb 6, 2009 22oz. bomber: This one pours a darker amber/caramel color that is fairly clear. There was a finger’s worth of a tan head on mine. Not much lacing, though. The aroma is pretty nice. There are definitely some Belgian characteristics to it. Some yeastiness and breadiness to go along with some molasses. Faint aroma of some dark fruits also. The flavor is quite interesting: there is a lot going on here. There are various flavors competing, yet they are well balanced. Some bitterness, some sweetness, even a touch of smokiness. Very Nice!

Jan 10, 2009 A mix of ale styles that turns out well. An American brown/strong ale with some Belgian yeasts and hops. So unique and tasty.

Dec 28, 2008 22oz bottle from Countryside Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark amber to brown color with a one finger tan head that settles quickly but provides lacing to the glass. Aroma is malty and sweet with notes of floral hops, citrus, caramel, honey. Flavor is much of the same with nuts, spice, and notes of molasses and grapefruit. Generally medium body with a crisp hop finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a murky orange-brown colour with a rocky three-finger tan head that retains well with great 3-dimentional lacing. The nose is sweet and vinous with very pronounced hops ranging from piney to citric to fruity. The flavour is a bit weak on the maltiness, but the hop flavours are brilliantly complex and mildly bitter, displaying more hop flavour than bitterness. The malts are lightly toasty and bready, but an odd raw vegetable flavour subsides mid-palate. The alcohol is hidden better in the taste than in the aroma. The body is thin and the carbonation is soft. Decent, but not worth buying again.

Jul 26, 2008 Rating from memory. Pours brown with orange tints with creamy white head. Aroma is nutty with noites of molasses, honey and brown suger. Flavor is nutty also with molasses, caramel and brown suger. Was suprised that this is listed as an ASA. Found it to be an enjoyable brew and one worth trying again.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a dark ruby color with a thin tan head. There is a lot of hoppy bitterness that I like in the flavor, but also some roasted malts and dried fruit flavor. The finish is very long, and the bitterness stays, adding a unique taste for you to remember it by.
