Continuing my Rogue Imperial Stout biannual vertical. Today the 2004 12 oz bottle. Nice bitter chocolate flavor with a small amount of cinnamon tan head, but only about a tenth of an inch thick. The body is not as black as normal; probably since I think the gelatinous transparent brown globules that came out of the bottom of the 2000 nip must be where the body goes to. But it still tastes great; drink this stoutr anytime

I still have a Sinners 08 and a couple of Saints Devotion left in the cellar. Guess maybe I will pull those out soon. Busy with my ancient Rogue Imp stouts right now. I have finally decided it is too hard to find people to share with here, so i will do my verticals one bottle each day. FW 10-16 and Stone 030303-121212 on deck.

Maybe it was the leafy quality of the noble hops that remind you of rotting fruit? Or the musk that made you think it was not clean.



Northern Brewer is not a noble hop. Either way, though, if used properly, noble hops should never resemble anything but flowers, spices and herbs. Rotting fruit is a fermentation defect from poor attenuation.

Regarding the lack of cleanness with Anchor Steam: it’s the severely husky malt and diacetyl that I am unable to overlook in this beer. And I am not talking slightly unclean; it’s actually unclean to the point of being offensive.

Beerlao, still the best widely available pale lager in Indochina.
