Bomber. Pours red-amber with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma is subtle - smokey with some hints of caramel. Tastes of smoked applewood bacon, malts, a little bit of fruitiness. Very little bitterness to be found here. Lightly carbonated with a medium body, dry finish, and way more drinkable than I thought it’d be - it’s nice how the smoke isn’t over the top.

Tap at Barcade. Light brown beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is gorgeous with aroma of applewood and beech smoke over a fruity apple/pear estery background. Low bitterness but it’s there with a touch of pine and spice helping to set off the lovely smoky flavour. Soft palate with a touch of caramel breadiness helping to make the beer a bit more complex. Great balance of smoke, malt, and fruit. My favourite of the night.

22-oz. bottle. Pours amber with a small frothy light tan head, tiny bubbles swiftly rising, spotty lacing. Aroma is light smoke, woodsy, caramel malt (biscuit), yeast (dough), notes of smoked meat. Flavor is smoked meat, ashy wood, caramel nutty malt and yeast, hint of hops at the end. Medium bodied and slight burn on the palate, refreshing.

A cloudy, dark amber pour with a tight, off-white head. It had a strong malt flavor with a hint of acid. The hops blended in well and left a bit of an aftertaste. The smoke flavor was there but it was subtle. Lot’s of sediment was left in the bottom of the glass.

Rogue Smoke Ale Bomber Recent bottling, imbibed 09/06 Medium pour in a tulip glass Poured a clear dark fiery orange with an average quickly diminishing off white rocky head. Smelt strongly of smoked porcine product with a hint of grassy hops. Taste was upfront heavy smoke with light sweet caramel maltiness followed by a strong bitter piney hop and a slowly fading continuation of the harsh burnt smokiness, with a light hint of fruity banana and light berry hops peeking through at the end on the lengthy finish. Mouthfeel was medium, creamy, lively carbonation and moderate astringincy. Overall, a great bold and complex tasting Rauchbier. This tasted like the Chipotle Ale without the annoying spiciness that masked the finish. Now excuse while I go enjoy the rest of this with a bag of pork rinds.

Brown color with a nice thick head. Smokey aroma with a side of bacon. Smokey earthy flavor with a just a little bitter aftertaste. A good heavy beer.
