Rogue Smoke Ale

Bottled. Hazy amber with a rich white foam. Aroma of smoked wood, juniper, ham, crackers and flowers. Smokey flavour of tar and ham with touches of caramel and crackers. Clean medium body. Smoked wood in the finish.

22 oz Bomber-Shared w/ some friends, Pours a copper color w/ a moderate white head & good lacing. Smokey malt aroma. This is definatly a smoked, not overpowering, but it is the first thing you taste. Not as strong or overpowering as some other smoked beers I’ve had, maybe that’s why it’s a lighter color. Think campfire smoke, not smokehouse smoke. Had a sweet smokey finish. Nice beer

Bottle. Pour is a caramel brown with hints of orange when held to the light. Minimal head, but very carbonated. There’s no hiding the smoky aroma and flavor of this beer. Smoked sausage and beef jerky flavors fade into a piney hoppy finish. Makes me think of campfires in the woods. The flavor was almost a little overwhelming by itself, but I bet this would be amazing when paired with the right foods, like barbeque, smoked meats, or smoked fish. Or better yet, perhaps using the beer in cooking - maybe in a BBQ marinade for ribs, or even added to some baked beans. Mmmm.... smoky goodness.

Light copper body with a small white head. Light smoke aroma and some hops. Malty flavour with that sausage twist.

Pours out a light brown color, clear with a small to medium sized head. Aroma was Skoal chewing tobacco, some light wintergreen mint and sweet malt. Flavor was smoky, but nothing too overboard. I liken this to Alaskan Smoked Porter, but perhaps a bit stronger in the smoke dept. Nice beer.

I love smoke. Smoked pork, beef, ribs, chicken, etc. NOT BEER. Hands down, one of the worst craft beers I’ve tasted. I understand that some people enjoy it, which is dandy, but definitely not my cup o’ tea

On tap at Rich O’s. clear copper/amber with a white head decent lacing. big smokey bacon aroma with a light touch of piney hops. smokey bacon/beef jerky flavor. bitter medium dry lightly hopped finish with a touch of spice. medium body. lively carbonation. nice straightforward smoked beer....kinda makes you feel like you are sitting in a smoker while drinking a beer. nice.
