Great looking bottle. I enjoyed this beer a lot and would certainly buy this one again. I have had a few Rogue beers and enjoyed them all.

dark black with a rocky blond head. once again lacking the soy flavor i love from oatmeals, but making up for it with a subtle oatmeal tast backed up by a stellar hints of roasted oats and spice. awsome

A good stout. Coffee and burnt chocolate flavor are there in full force, as well as some fruity malt notes. Pretty complex and assertive, and hoppier than most stouts.

Had this from a tap. Excellent brew. Would drink this everyday if I could. Great mouthfeel and aftertaste. Created my love of stouts.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2004 Bottled, 2001. The mouthfeel on this one is the best thing it has going, very rich and thick; flavors are your usual suspects, chocolate and coffee. Not nearly as sweet as English versions of the style, but though I like sweet stouts I found it well-balanced. A little weak on the nose and head. Good beer, but I'm starting to feel that the brewer is a might overrated.
2004 sweetness really only apparent at the front, very bitter (esp. for a "sweet" stout) finishing. Nice body, but the hops are just too overwhelming here.

This roasty stout would be fit for the great bard.

Drank it. Loved it. Drank another. Loved it again. Found out it is actually a sweet stout, (with lactose), and was surprised and felt guilty. Wonderful brew. Not at all sweet as the genre indicates. Soild, good thickness, nice robust flavor, slightly smokey, is there molasses in this? More crisp than most other stouts I’ve tried (higher carbonation). Despite what the manufacturer states, this is truly an American style stout due to the high carbonation and bitterness. Not too bitter though.

Fruity aroma. Toasty coffee chocolate flavor. Creamy body well balanced by a nice hop bitterness. Delicious beer.

Decent stout. Pitch black with tall cascading head. Pretty complex flavor. Slight medicinal aftertaste and thinnish palate.
