Typically love smoked ales, but this is absolutely no good. nothing pleasant about it at all. Rogue continues to disappoint me...

Light amber with a thin white head. Aroma is smoked malt, reminiscent of smoked meat. Flavor is same as the aroma with a slight sweetness in the finish. Could use a little more body to round out the smoke flavor. Overall, not bad, but I prefer my smoke in a heavier beer.

Cloudy brown color. The head is one-finger in height, creamy and white. The aroma is of smoked malt, and more smoked malt. The taste is of smoked malt with some caramel in the background. The mouthfeel is a little lighter than medium bodied, with a lot of carbonation.

Draught from a shaker. Lightly hazy dark amber/brown color with almost no head. Aroma is incredibly smokey and sweet. Taste has a lot of smokey notes up front...lots of hardwood smoked characteristics. Finish has both notes of bacon and sweetness. I’m not a fan of smoked beers, but this one is pretty nice.

Dark, clear, orange-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of smoked pork and malt. It tastes like a hop-deficient amber ale and smoke. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Ok.

swoopjones (3427) - Buffalo, New York, USA - NOV 16, 2011
draft at Coles, Buffalo, NY. caramel colored pour. Mild smoke in the aroma. Seems like a pretty boring ale with a touch of smoke, a smoked amber. seems like it would be an incredibly boring beer without the smoke, however i like drinking it

On tap at flying saucer. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a small frothy off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a smoke and pepper. Thin mouthfeel with a very dry pepper and smoke finish. A decent Smoked from Rogue.

On tap at Cole’s Buffalo. Rogue John’s Locker Smoke Ale. Very strong smoke aroma and lighter taste of smoke in this dark ale. Medium body and slight bitterness.

alobar (1954) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 29, 2011
Clear dark amber color with a heavy smoke aroma-like a smoldering campfire. Almost exclusive smoke flavor with some hints of meat. If you like smoke, this is a good beer.

Lättdrucken. Lätt rökt, lätt kropp och måttlig beska.
