Trev (479), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Apr 3, 2008 Bomber from Brewery Creek:
Pours a cloudy amber colour. Light fruity hop aroma, peppery smoke tones.
Smokes comes through in the flavour noticeably but not overpowering the hops completely.
An odd finish reminiscent of salami for me...

the_chandler (183), West Virginia, USA Aug 15, 2008 My first smoked ale. Pours a medium-brown. Aroma is good, kind of a good hearty maltiness, with a definite smoke aroma. Flavor is very woody, obviously, due to the smoke. Pretty nice level of hoppiness too. Good balance, nice smokey flavor. Pretty darn good.
NomDeBeer (127), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 11, 2008 Sweet malt aroma and flavor of caramel and peat. The smoke flavor is nice and ashy. Almost medium-bodied with a pleasant earthy hop finish. Good brew. KimJohansen (3026), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 9, 2008 Bottle @ Chris O’s post GBBF tasting. Clear deep amber. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, smoke and caramel. Sweet flavor with toasted malt, caramel, smoke and hops that gives it bitter finish. junon (131), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Aug 6, 2008 Incredible. This is my first "Smoke Ale" and this really gives even the most roasted porters and stouts a run. At the widest part of the glass its impossible to see through just the way I like my beer. The alcohol is not masked in anyway and it is obvious right away that its a bit stronger than average. It really does smell and taste like something bbq’d or like someone said a "camp fire". Nicely done Rogue. blutt59 (620), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 31, 2008 bottle, light amber color, smoked peat nose, flavors tend toward leather and tobacco notes instead of BBQ, partake with a fuente
