Rogue Ten Thousand Brew Ale (10,000)

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Newport, Oregon USA

Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours a brown with a lingering off-white head. Smells slightly sweet of malt and a slightg hop floral aroma. This beer may not have the 100+ IBUs, but it has a hop bite like any hophead woud love. Had this *after* ruination and it has more of a bite. Has a great malt backing and the flavor is among the best. Unsure why the rating is so low... this is a great stong ale that almost seems like an IBA. Very, very good beer,

tap @ papago...sweet malt aroma with hints of orange and grapefruit. rich caramel malt flavor with oranges and honey. the sweetness is cut with a huge amount of grassy hops. full bodied with a nice balance...for the price????

Pretty average IPA-type of beer, strong hoppiness in the nose & in the flavor, but nothing really exciting, nice malt backbone, cloudy & hazy light brown appearance, not much head, very little lacing, it’s a shame they wasted such a great milestone on such a lousy bottled beer, I’m sure it was pretty good on draft, but it isn’t in a bottle

Light gold in color with medium white head. Aroma is all hops. Flavor is mostly hops, with some malt and caramel notes. It’s very carbonated and along with the alcohol, sizzled in my mouth. There’s a lot going on here

Aroma: hops, fruit, herbal Appearance: medium amber Flavor: caramel, hops, toffee, pine Palate: Overall: If it wasn’t $20 a bottle, I’d have another one soon...

The Dan Journal #79. Tasted 4/11/2007. 750ml ceramic bottle. Clear with a golden amber hue. Two fingers of off-white head. Cookie malts and spicy hop aromas. Touch grassy. Rather full bodied with an intense dryness. Growing dryness. The bitterness actually intensifies as it lingers. Good tingling effervescence. Short lived malts. Intense burning. All hops at the tail end. Complex and attacking. Cloying. This is a big ass beer. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. The malts start to shine as it warms, but the alcohol is still overt.

shared with amy while watching saw 3. clear orange amber with a nice off white head. aroma big piney hops with a light touch of orange. quite floral as well.......hint of caramel. intense bitter piney hoppy flavor with a light orange caramel bittersweetness to it. bittersweet orange piney finish. full body. moderate carbonation. Its a good old fashioned hopbomb.

For starters, I am biased towards Rogue as I am a hophead. This beer does not disappoint. Clear golden pour with some oil and a puffy white head. Hops jump out of the glass with grass, wood, and citrus notes. Caramel malt sweetness with the Pacman yeast up front, which soon turn to the astringent hoppiness. Pine and citrus flow throughout. Nice balance to the long finish.
