Sep 19, 2006 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.

Jan 15, 2008 22oz. bottle - Pours a reddish orange glow with medium head. Smelled like a camp fire and resin hops. This brew has a smokey smooth flavor with bitter hop finish. Nice medium/heavy mouthfeel that leaves you with a dry finish. Another excellent beer from Rogue Ales. Flavor reminds me of smoked fish and maybe cheese.

Aug 6, 2009 Medium Brown pour with a with head. fair amount of carbonation. Nice balance of smoke flavor. Not as powerful...though not as good...as a rauche beer from germany. Nice mouthfeel and a cean finish on the palate.

May 7, 2005 Pours a beautiful ruby amber, with brilliant red hues when held to light. Long lasting small white head. Brilliant smokey bacon aroma, with some caramel notes there too. Flavour is very similar, but with a slightly hoppy finish. Brilliantly refreshing interpretation of a rauchbier.

Jun 6, 2005 HMMMMM. Damn I love the aroma of the smoked ales. Smells like a thick juicy steak, smothered in terreicki (sp) sauce, that is slowly cooking on the grill. Wonderful! Medium sized frothy white head. Light carbonation. Color is a nice clear dark copper. Flavor is a little fruity with a smoky kick. Very different. Smoke beers are usually just lots of malts and smoke. Pretty thin palate and quite refreshing. Finish is slightly dry and has a lingering smoky aftertaste. A very good and different smoke themed brew. Good job Rogue.
