Draft @ Max’s. Pours a murky, dark brown color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Loads of cola, dried dark fruits, and even a touch of tannic red fruits in the aroma; pleasant, intricate Belgian aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy, dense, sticky dried dark fruits, cola, and caramel upfront; pretty sweet and dense; relaxed carbonation. Lengthy finish: chocolate, dried dark fruits, and cola; a touch chalky and very dry end.

smell of caramel, slight hops, some nuts, sour malts.
taste is strong, prune, malt, grapefruit hops, some pine, roastiness and wood.
overall a really good beer.

does not count  Jul 16, 2008 Bottle shared with GMCC2181. 2008 ceramic bottle, pours dark hazy amber with not too much head. Flavor is resin hop, with a slight taste of malt. A good Rogue Beer.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle shared by SWolf3. Another awesome brew by Rogue. Cool ceramic bottle. I was surprised by the bitterness. The bottle says it was 106 IBU’s and that is right on target. Not an off-balanced bitterness though. Dark in color, not much head. Good texture, not to thin or thick. Overall a good brew that I enjoyed. Thanks again wolf.

Jul 13, 2008 Looks fantastic, has got some deep IPA like malts and hops flavor with strong piny over tones. the beer is just a tad thin. its a real pleasure to drink though.

Jul 13, 2008 The aroma is piny and citrusy with caramel malt. The appearance is mahogany with a beautiful head. The flavor is like the aroma with an astringent finish. The palate is thin. Overall i like it but i’m not blown away.
