Rogue Ten Thousand Brew Ale (10,000)

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

6/21/2007: Rogue Rogue Ten Thousand Brew Ale is light honey/orange in color and has a lasting, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is citrus hops and a some light toasty/nutty malt. The beer is syrupy and sweet in the mouth. The flavor begins with toasted toffee malts, then there is a slightly nuttiness, and finally the citrus hop flavor appears and revelas a moderate bitterness. The alcohol is warming. I can’t taste the alcohol, but I can definitely feel it! Rogue 10,000 has a medium to medium-full body and is sticky on the lips. Overall this beer is a nice combination and balance of strong, sweet, and hoppy. It is definitely worth trying at least once. I would buy more of it if it weren’t for the outrageous price (come on guys, the ceramic bottle doesn’t add anything to the beer and it’s totally not worth it!)...

750 ML ceramic capped/flip-top bottle (December 2006, 22 Plato, 78 A.A., 60 IBU, 30 Lovibond) shared by Lance. Thank you so much!

Dry hopped aroma with an orange-tan body. Flavors of citrus & pine – lots of hops also includes caramel malts. Finish is bitter. Thx to Carnavale for the hook-up!!

Nice mix of citrus and sweetness hiding in the aroma, pours a cloudy amber, with a big fluffy white head. Nice bitter start to the finish, with a bit of sour hiding there, strong bready malts to hold it all up. Moderately long finish, very drinkable, biggest downside is the cost.

On tap at Landmark 1850. Cloudy amber color and nice white head. First wiff smells like a strawberry shortcake doll my little girl plays with. Smell of tons of malt, tons of hops, some citrus, caramel, strawberries, cream, bread/cake batter, pine, spiced fruit, orange peal and light alcohol. Taste of malt, dark fruit, citrus, caramel, clove, cinnamon, rasins, cherries, candy, brown sugar, pine and hops, hops, hops. Great beer. Loved all the malts but loved the hop flavor more.

Bottle. Amber golden beer with a white head. The aroma is fruity, caramel malt and hoppy. The taste is sweet fruity and hoppy taste. Medium body with a bitter dry finish.

Bottle. Average creamy off-white head that mostly diminished. Clear flat looking body with an amber color. Aroma of caramel, grain, floral, elderflower, pine, grapefruit, citrus and fruit. Full bodied with an average carbonation and alcoholic texture. Moderated bitter flavor with light sweetness. I thought the alcoholic note shines thought this brew, with very hoppy bitterness. Reminds me more of an IPA then anything else. Still this was a nice beer with a dry and bitter finish.

Bottle. Clear golden coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma of caramel, fruits, hops and pine needles. Flavour of fruits, caramel, hops and pine needles. Hoppy finish.
