Feb 28, 2007 Hops, hops, and more hops. I like the dryness. I may just have to drink a big bottle of water after this one. So damn tasty. Harsh, bitter. I loved it.

Feb 28, 2007 Wow so much to say about this beer. The aroma is excellent, full of hops and melded spices. The appearance starts with a ceramic bottle, which is just sweet. The pour is dark dark brown with a thick head. I kind of miss poured so the head was huge. Mouthfell is sweet but smooth. The flavor is tremendous. Very similar to Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, but much more cloudy and thick. A great brew. Very expensive though.

Feb 25, 2007 aroma more subtle than some bwines. citrus and a little pine with sweet toffee and alcohol behind. tiny notes of roasted malts and caramel. taste is powerful hops and malt. citrus with semisweet toffee/caramel fading into a very strong piney bitterness. quite wonderful.

Feb 24, 2007 2006 Ceramic bottle, trappist glass, Hops, very nice hops, of the NW variety. Malty, nice dark malts, reminds me very much of Dark Rye bread. even a touch sour. Pours very dark brown, alcohol is not too dominate, pretty good, Very big probably the most flavorful Rogue brew I have had. Big and powerful. I quite enjoyed it. I need to buy another one of these ceramics and let it sit for year or two to see the changes.

1993 6.4 oz green screwtop nip bottle from paiste2002, thanks!!! Nose of figs, caramel, and brown sugar. Murky rust brown with a few bubbles, only a light hiss as I opened the bottle. Flavor is not too bad for a 16 year old bottle, caramel, raisins, light bitterness, and only very light oxidation in the background.

Feb 15, 2007 12 oz bottle-poured a mirky brownish color w/no head & some lacing. Great aroma, almost Belgian quality. Taste just didn’t deliver. Very bitter, high alcohol, astringent, medicine/cough syrup like. Smelled great, looked good, tasted awful. Long bitter metalic finish.
