Aug 21, 2005 My first smoke beer, and I found it utterly beguiling: appearing like a good-looking pint of dark amber bitter with a good head, but with an unexpected and savoury aroma of smoked bacon and cucumber. Pehaps I was hoping for a bit more hoppy bitterness, but overall it was deliciously smooth and drinkable. There seem to be half a dozen Rogue beers in Sainsbury’s these days. I look forward to working through them.

Aug 17, 2005 (on bottle at RBESG 2005) Rusty-clear colour, white head. OK on the smoke, not big. Soft and smooth pour, still not power-smoke-beer. Semi-hoped finish.

Nut brown, smokey nose of smoked ham. Medium-bodied. Smokey, mildly hoppy. Good hoppy-smokey aftertaste. Good smoke beer.

Aug 13, 2005 Bomber from brad. Pours a dark amber color with a light tan head. Nose is smoked ham and bacon. Taste is full and purely smoked. Flavors of bacon and ham throughout, a good malt sense and some meatiness.

Aug 8, 2005 Bottled. Dark brown beer with a constant head. The aroma is pleasant and not too stongly smoked whilst the flavour has a nice long lasting light dry finish with a body full of smoked ham. Overall a smoked beer that is not over bearing.

Aug 1, 2005 Looks like a pint of bitter but with a nice smoke aroma, the taste is hoppy (but not intense as the bottle says) and smokey. OK but no Aecht Schlenkerla, but then i suppose its not trying to be...after all it does say delicate smoke on the label.

Aug 1, 2005 Minor bottle gusher upon opening. Clear, deep amber body with moderate carbonation and a large soapy off-white head that left a silky sheet. Nose of meaty smoke with toasty malt in the distant background. Smoke flavor is tantalizing but not overpowering. Good balancing malt character with sweet caramel notes. Has elements of a scotch ale. Sweet, smoky flavor plus spicy hops make this taste like a good BBQ sauce. Smooth, medium body. I dig this beer.
